This is a great festival that nobody seems to know about. I did not catch the parade, but all of old town proper was shut down, including Scottsdale Rd. The festival was spread out which was unusual as some blocks had nothing to see, do or eat. They had gunfights, four stages for bands, different ethnic areas and the only weak part was food trucks were serving up the chow (kind of a copout as trucks overcharge). The beers were only three bucks, using the ticket system and this was only a one day event. They went to alot of trouble to set things up, but at my 2pm arrival, the streets were happily empty. Will be back next year.
