After a surprise snowfall on Saturday, no one really knew what to expect heading into the first 17th on 17th of the season. Luckily, by Sunday afternoon, the sun started fighting its way through the clouds and the avenue came alive.
Across five locations on 17th Ave, live music spilled onto sidewalks, patios, and street corners as people wandered between performances, stopped unexpectedly while exploring, and gathered around artists all throughout the afternoon.
Some visitors came down specifically for the event, while others stumbled across it naturally while shopping, grabbing coffee, or spending time on the avenue. That mix of planned moments and unexpected discoveries is exactly what makes events like this feel so special.
From folk and jazz to opera, pop, and soul, each performance brought its own atmosphere and energy to the avenue, creating an afternoon that felt uniquely 17th Ave.
