The Annual Delray Affair Brings Art to Town

The 49th Delray Affair took place this past weekend. Atlantic Avenue was shutdown to traffic and flooded with tents and vendors with anything from ethnic cuisine to tiki hut art for sale. While the numerous creators came with their arts and crafts the "Affair" also provided musical entertainment with jazz and cover bands.

The 10 block long "Affair" is one of the oldest of it's kind in South Florida. Some examples of what was for sale included an array of colorful tye-dye shirts and signs for the garden. The "Affair" is a family event with small rides for children and toys for sale as well.

One of the most notable memories of the Delray Affair for me was from a couple seasons ago when they had a card and crayon station set up so that people could send a thank you letter to the soldiers overseas.
