I attended last year’s Balloon Fest for the first time, by accident, when my friends and I decided to spend a day at Jamesville Beach Park. Upon arrival, we were surprised to see the park packed and bustling, and even more spectacular, to see the green lawn covered with an expanse of bright colors. Balloons were laid out as far as the eye could see, ready to be filled with hot air and take off, one after the other in a beautiful air parade.

If you haven’t heard of Funk N’ Waffles, it’s understandable – the restaurant only opened a few years ago and is hidden beneath Chuck’s bar in the alleyway known as Campus Plaza off of S. Crouse Ave. However, one trip to this hip café and I know you’ll be back, not only for the waffles but the entertainment as well!
