Dobbs Ferry Festa 2012 [PHOTOS]

10th-annual event rocks Main Street in Dobbs Ferry.

The Village of Dobbs Ferry celebrated it's 10th-annual Ferry Festa as Main and Cedar Streets were turned into a giant block party featuring live music, food from local eateries, bounce castles and crafts for children, and many other exhibits and vendors.

Fire department apparatus was staged along a side street as the bays of the station were turned into a dunking booth with visitors trying to dunk firefighters who playfully taunted passersby.

Village police officers kept everyone safe as they mingled with residents, while everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as they walked the streets during the event.

Thanks for posting these great pictures for the Festa. You captured the spirit of the day, which was a celebration of community. It really was a lot of fun and I thank everyone who helped make it happen. The real thanks though goes to the thousands who attended and contributed their enthusiasm and smiles. Also, a special shout out to Mayor Connett for keeping his promise that he would deliver good weather. It looked iffy on Wednesday, but we all had faith that he would make it happen.

Would have been nice to mention this event before it happened, so one could attend!

Congratulations to the village of Dobbs Ferry for a terrific event. The music was great, the food terrific. The vendors and information tables were interesting and helped make the day very special. The Festa is community at its best. It highlights why Dobbs Ferry and the river villages are great places to live, work and shop at. I enjoyed chatting with many friends and neighbors.
