While the sun was still hot and the crowds tame, the scene on Valencia today was fun and lively. Come on down before Sunday Streets ends at 4 p.m.

Boutiques set up tables outside their storefronts for people.
Many danced to live music in the middle of the street.
Many local rock bands set up along the side of the street.
Many took the opportunity to campaign for the upcoming November 4th elections.
