Rain early Saturday afternoon held down the crowd at the Delray's first Kindness Festival — Summer of Love. But as the sun came out so did 60s rock fans. Kindness Festival attracts thousands of music lovers
Hippies young and old came out in force Saturday for peace and music at the first annual Kindness Festival — Summer of Love at Old School Square in Delray Beach.
The retro event, produced by local musician Jerry C. Leeman with the help of Nancy Stewart, organizer of Delray’s Garlic Festival, featured “Janis Joplin” and the Kozmic Blues Band, the “Grateful Dead,” “Jimi Hendrix” and “The Doors.”
Rain early Saturday afternoon dampened the crowd somewhat, but sun and blue skies picked things up.
