Day: July 27, 2012

Street preachers, tourists, cops, kids, hippies, cooks, shoppers, musicians, and weirdos … and it’s only the first day.

Day three: We’re updating our Twitter and Tumbler live feeds constantly as the festival thrums and hums along. You’re one click away from the best Bele Chere coverage this side of the BB&T building. (Photo by “mackthought”)

Bele Chere is a festival of many colors. So it’s natural for Xpress to offer coverage that’s equally nuanced. Read on for quick routes to your preferred online format. (And of course, if you’re the classic paper-and-ink type, we’ve got festival guides on almost every block downtown with a map, band bios, food and shopping tips and more.)
