Description
Photograph taken on June 25, 1983 during "Summerthing '83" in Riverside Park. Attendees are scattered around resting in the shade from the trees on the ground, along with tri-fold lawn chairs, picnic tables and a solo riser. Some of the people on the ground appear to be sitting under makeshift tents. The trees and their shade seem to be set on the edge of the park leaving the center cast in sunlight.
"Summerthing '83" was a three-weekend art festival held annual for both the performing and visual arts. It held workshops for the public, had theatrical and musical performances, dance and various art presentations. The activities were designed for children, students, adults and senior citizens to participate. This event was put on through the Grand Forks Park District.
