In The Street Attendance Dampened by Cold Weather
Attendance at this year’s In The Street festival fell to about 45,000 to 50,000 from over 60,000 in prior years, due to cold drizzle and competing events like Brunswick’s Railroad Days. Co chairs Tiffany Wilms and Stephanie Weingrad blamed the weather but stressed the festival’s lasting appeal and seasonal kickoff aura as crowds filled Market Street. Sixteen-year-olds Andrew Phillips and Rachael Snyder danced to Cocktail Nuts led by Pat Stacchio, with Snyder noting the joy of dancing solo to the retro swing sounds.
