Thousands of local residents, families and friends spent Saturday afternoon on MacArthur street - between 35th and 38th avenues - for the 11th Annual Laurel Street Fair.

The event featured music, entertainment, a Health and Wellness Zone, a Kids Zone, food and a diverse mix of vendors and information booths.

This just in - It’s officially summertime in the O.

The summer solstice may be a few weeks off, but if the nice weather at Sunday’s Temescal Street Fair is any indication of what to expect in the meantime, it’s time to put those winter clothes away (if you haven’t already) and get down in the sunshine - just like that Roy Ayers song says.
