The Spark Fishers Festival wrapped up its second year Saturday, with the city estimating that between 20,000 and 25,000 people visited the celebration at some point during the event, up from last year’s inaugural event.

The 5K run saw a big increase in the number of total participants, with 1,500 on hand.  That is up from the 600-750 runners and walkers from last year.

All the available tickets for the Friday concert at the Amphitheater featuring Vertical Horizon and Tonic were handed out, so it was a full house.  The Jazz Ambassadors entertained at the Amp Thursday night.

The Kids’ Zone had more activities this year and the youngsters filled the area.

Yes, it did rain during the parade, but it appears not many people there to watch left the parade route and took in the entire event.  It was all capped-off with a big fireworks display Saturday night.
