Last night we went to the 7
th annual Firebird Festival (
http://www.firebirdfestival.org/) in Phoenixville, PA. It was a fantastic evening of fun, food and fire. Shopping on Bridge Street and watching street performers (a personal favorite), eating vegan soup from Kimberton Whole Foods, standing by a roaring fire in an old steel trash can (reminiscent of old black & white films and hobo's!), then heading to the hill with thousands of others to watch the parade and torch bears head to the pit to light the phoenix sculpture.

| Towers burning... |

| anticipation... |

| prayers to heaven... |
Drummers, dancers and chanters filled the air with fun, joy and a spirit of togetherness and community.
I look forward to retuning next year...how about joining me...the more the merrier!
It was wonderful! Thanks for sharing your view of the festival
