A week of rain and cooler temperatures...off and on for the rain.
A big arts festival this coming weekend.

Now I will see how the forecast for 50% showers and thunder storms might come about.
And yes, I plan to go see some of it myself. Parking of course will be the main thing to work out. But I live just a few blocks away, so may be able to snag a spot if I go early. That's what this old person has learned...as well as that the crowds aren't usually as bad when the festival first starts.
Of course being an elder means I'll have a few limitations on distance of my walkabout. So I just hope that the block or so that I manage will be the best of the show.
Celebrating 32 years of showcasing fine arts and crafts by makers from across the country, the Durango Autumn Arts Festival takes place amidst the vibrant fall colors on quaint East Second Avenue in historic downtown Durango, Colorado.
Presented as a fundraiser for the Durango Arts Center — the region’s premier non-profit visual and performing arts organization — the festival is ranked among the top in the country, attracting an estimated 8,000 visitors annually. Artists and craftspeople consistently praise the event for its excellent organization, warm hospitality, and steady, friendly crowds.
Young Artists - Huge Impact Exhibit
We are excited to bring back the popular Young Artists – Huge Impact space at the 2026 Durango Autumn Arts Festival, featuring young artist booths offering goods for sale to the public.
Though I support young artists, I probably will focus on the ceramic artists. I want to see how their work differs from the famous Western North Carolina potters...with whom I'm quite familiar. That will be the main point of my attending!
