Summer Solstice Festival – Long Beach, CA

On Thursday evening when we were out walking Bailey, we noticed that a lot of tents were being set-up in a few spots on the beach in Belmont Shore. We took a stroll over on Saturday afternoon to check it out and from what we understand, it was a Summer Solstice Festival.

We found vendors that were promoting their take on sustainable products with items that ranged from clothing to water purification. Probably our greatest find that afternoon was the strawberry lemonade from
(it was so good we went back over on Sunday for more).

I little off to the side of the lemonade was an area on the beach where it seemed like a few bands were hanging out getting ready to perform (but now that I think of it I don’t remember hearing any music while we were over there). Parked in that area was this massive, hand painted bus that was a lot of fun too look at. When I got closer I noticed a lot of little mantras that we stenciled on over the brightly colored mosaic of the bus.

Here are a few shots of them along with a few that I took as we walked around that afternoon:
