That's like being charge an entrance fee to a restaurant where you're going to spend more on their menu.
I completely agree. I was out with a date last weekend, and we had done other things that day. We thought we were going to go to the festival and it was going to be free. It turns out that we were going to have to probably pay around $34 dollars to get in. We said no thanks. The price of parking, plus the price of entry, plus the price of food, beverage, and games was to much after we had already spent money else where. We just went to the Aquarium. I may go next year though.

p.s. And I wanted to take so many pictures too.

Where's this at?

The thing I saw the most people doing on July 4 was parking on the side of 45 near downtown to watch the fireworks. It was awesome.

Where are these mexican flea markets? They sound great.

As on the other thread there's no way I'd pay the price they want for the international festival. I wonder how much business they lose this way?
