Sundays are a busy time in downtown Stuart. The "Market on Main" takes place in Flagler Park, along the St. Lucie River, from 9:00 until 2:00, and Rock'n Riverwalk, a weekly concert series, takes place from 1:00 until 4:00. The Market on Main features fresh produce, like most farmer's markets, but also has a lot of arts and crafts, and is a great place to both browse and people-watch. Rock'n Riverwalk takes place nearby at a stage on the river, with seating rising from the stage up to the plaza above, as seen in the photograph on the left. I rode my bike from my sister Susan and my condo to downtown Stuart around 4:00, but the band was still playing and there was a good crowd filling the seats. There were also a lot of people hanging out on the restaurant patios, enjoying the late afternoon weather.
There were a lot of people standing behind the seating area, but I was able to squeeze in and take the photograph on the right of The Brass Evolution performing for the crowd, who seemed to be really into the music. And no - I have never heard of The Brass Evolution, but they sounded pretty good, and did not seem like they were about to end the concert even though it was well past 4:00 P.M. Perhaps they were getting paid by the hour. In any case, it is nice to see downtown Stuart is so popular these days. I did notice that a lot of people were actually wearing jackets as it was getting close to sunset, even though it felt perfectly pleasant to me. A lot of thin blood down here these days. Goes with the territory, I guess.
