Lemon Festival kick off
The lemonade began flowing yesterday afternoon during the city's 12th Annual Lemon Festival in downtown Upland.
More than 250 vendors set up shop selling food, crafts, clothing, household items and everything in between.
An impressive lineup of bands, dance performances and contests will be taking the stage, either the "Community" or "Main" stages, until the festival concludes Sunday evening.
On Friday performers from Body Ritual and Troupe Melange entertained attendees, who may have also stopped to check out Eagles coverband, Hotel California.
Stores located in downtown are remaining open during festival hours to take advantage of the larger than typical crowd visiting the historic area.
"This is one of the best times for the retail in downtown this weekend," said David Jackson, executive director
of Main Street Upland - the organization in charge of events in downtown. "It's usually the annual record as far as sales go."
Younger attendees were filling the Children's fair area, where they can participate in elephant and pony rides as well as a petting zoo.
Attendees 21 years and older can quench their thirst in any of the three beer gardens.
The Lemon Festival concludes Sunday and is free to the public.
Downtown Upland is located at the cross streets of 9th Street and Second Avenue
