Sunday, May 15 . . . It rained all morning and there was a 60 percent chance of rain throughout the day. I would not be deterred—this had been on my calendar for months, plus I needed a respite of the kind only BayFest could deliver. So I made the trip (and it stayed dry).

Emmons Ave., Sheepshead Bay
"J-Pop sensation Reni Mimura came to the U.S. to Share LOVE and JOY!”
“The Xylopholks play novelty ragtime music of the ‘20s dressed in fuzzy animal costumes.”
“The Shots & Friends: Rock ‘n’ roll bagpipe band”
“3:15 pm: FDNY Marine Unit Fireboat Demonstration”
The band played the Marine Corps theme as the hoses gushed
