This last weekend we attended the yearly Chalk festival in Victoria BC,  It is all about street chalk drawing.  Each artist was given a square to do.  Downtown Sept 14 13 019Downtown Sept 14 13 125Downtown Sept 14 13 127Downtown Sept 14 13 119

There was a stage in Centennial Square with traditional native song, drumming and dance.  They were fantastic.  This was a youth group from the north Island and it was there first performance in public.  They did very well.  I love the traditional dress.
