    agreed, I think it's been this way for years, but it _felt_ worse this year for some reason

    I prefer it at Bicentennial because I live just four blocks away :-)

    I'd like to see it move to Scissortail, but I've been told that the city made a substantial investment in electrical and water hookups for Bicentennial so I expect it to stay there for the foreseeable future.

    I miss it being right next to MBG.

    We had a gyro, biang biang noodles and their jalapeno, chicken and cheese eggroll last night, and all were excelent. Weather was perfect once it cooled down, and it was packed. It's taken me some time to get used to it being at the new location vs. MBG, but it's growing on me. This is probably my favorite event of the year in the city, hopefully the weather holds off a little for the weekend.

    You picked better than we did - split an Indian Taco which was very average (and maybe not even that). But regardless, the fun is strolling around and seeing all the amazingly talented artists on display. Really a fantastic event.

    Definitely one our top events in the city every year.

    Hopefully this brings some much-needed rain to OKC IYKYK

    Well, it looks like it's going to happen!

    We went today and everything almost overrun with people. The weather was perfect and that really brought the crowds. All of downtown was really that way though with the Memorial Run events happening as well. We took advantage of the free streetcar and both times it was basically standing room only.

    ^Same here. Don't recall being at AF when it was more crowded. Beautiful day after a wet cold week.

    I am assuming it was synergy with the wonderful weather, Festival of the Arts, and the Memorial races (reported 19,000+ runners), but wow, it seemed like downtown was packed this weekend. I found myself waiting at a streetcar stop this evening...with 30+ other people at the same stop (being free this weekend seemed to make more people want to try it). Honestly, makes me think that so long as OKC metro continues its growth in general population and downtown continues to increase in density in the coming decades, that this level of crowds will become commonplace and really make the core have this vibrancy. While waiting to start the marathon this morning, was fun to have talked to many runners from out of town who were first time visitors and hearing how the much they were enjoying their trip.
