PACfest, the South Side's only official Fiesta event, was soggy for the first time in its 24-year history, but rain and drizzle didn't dampen the spirits of those attending.

Photos (from the top left) are of the Palo Alto Art Club's T-shirt booth; a dancer from Palo Alto's Ballet Folklorico; David Lee Garza y Los Musicales; the Go Green! ¡Viva Verde! booth, where free trees, reusable grocery bags and environmental information was distributed; the PACfest crowd for David Lee Garza's performance on the main stage; Palo Alto's Dora Contreras and Sabina Cerda enjoying a bite to eat; and Dr. Ana M. "Cha" Guzmán greeting Fiesta royalty. Kudos to the events' organizers!
