The bands, the beers and the barbecue brought throngs to Washington Park Sunday. The sixth annual event produced by the local nonprofit West End Arts District, featured four world-class blues acts, brewers of both beer and kombucha, distillers and other local merchants.

The event culminated with a parade a few blocks over to the Healing Garden at Taylor Avenue and Webster Street for an after party courtesy of the West Alameda Business Association.

Proceeds from the event support creative endeavors on the West End throughout the year.
