After a three-year hiatus, the 75th Pilgrim Place Festival kicked off Friday morning with clear skies and lots of smiles.

From book and home goods vendors, a one-stop Christmas shop, an abundance of children’s activities and crafts, rides on the mechanical train and boat, food, tours of The Petterson Museum of Intercultural Art, and much more, there was certainly something unique for everyone to enjoy.

Day two of the festival runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, November 11, and all proceeds help Pilgrim Place’s Resident Health and Support Program.
