The 57th Annual Springtime Tallahassee Festival happened on Saturday, March 29. The city's downtown was filled with thousands of celebrants all day long.
The Grand Parade on Monroe Street featured all kinds of floats, marching bands, community groups and politicians.
Among the dozens of booths along Park Avenue and Adams Street was Jennifer Puckett. She co-wrote a children's book about a real-life service dog named "Oliver."
"We've written this book to bring awareness. Not everyone who has a service dog has an outward disability. So it's to let children know about the dos and don'ts when you're meeting a service dog."
At the Big Bend Area Health Education Center booth was Emily Kohler. She works to reduce tobacco use, especially among young people.
"It's still down, but it's disappointing to see smoke shops in the community promoting any form of tobacco, anywhere near where youth may be as well."

Also throughout the downtown, lots of stages for musical and dance performers.
