Balloon Arch Entry to Oktoberfest
Rising high in the sky, multi-colored balloons fashioned into an arch add a festive note to the fun-filled, family festival called Oktoberfest.
Fine Crafts on Union Square Commons

You will find beautiful pottery, jewelry, glass, fabrics and objects made from wood that will appeal to you.
