Let’s get arty in Manchester with the Richmond Street Art Festival

The best of my knowledge no actual streets will be painted at the Street Art Festival. A missed opportunity perhaps.

Starting tomorrow Manchester is going to get more colorful. We talked about what the Richmond Street Art Festival is back here.

Not only did they bring their paint they brought a bunch of friends too.
