Though it felt like a neighborhood block party, Fulford Day is a major annual celebration for people of the island. It is centered around Fulford, the town on the southern tip of the island (my favorite place thus far), and consists of music, games, home-grown food, and general goofiness. I don't really know why it began, but this was its twentieth anniversary and people were really excited.
Wonderfully, we were some of the only non-residents at the celebration which meant I got a better view of the real island folk. Lots of kids and young families decked out in high-end outdoor gear, but not necessarily showered. Very slow moving happy people and tons of curiosity about any newcomers daring enough to attend a local Fulford Day.
