This weekend was packed with parades and festivals, but some sought a more relaxed vibe at LES DayLife’s Lower EAT Side yesterday afternoon. On Orchard Street between Delancey and East Houston there were swarms of strolling couples, chubby-cheeked kids covered in glitter and face paint, and groups of friends with their skin bared to soak in that vitamin D.

The street fair took place from noon until 5 pm with live music, big blow-up chairs, a holistic wellness lounge, kid-friendly activities (when is the last time you hula hooped?), and a line of inviting food stands (if you consider winking shouts of “The best balls in Manhattan!” inviting). Check it all out by clicking through our slideshow below.

"I'm here with my friends, but even if I was by myself I'd be here because New York culture is a dying thing. This is what New York is - a Sunday when you ain't got nothing to do except for what you have to do. You can walk around, go to the city, see culture, music and people not being douchebags," said Akil Apollo Davis (far right) with friends Max Spiker (left), and Keely Angel (middle). "You can't go to Washington Square Park at night anymore so the fun stuff, where you get to be out in the sun, is this stuff like street fairs."
