By 10 a.m., dozens of white tents lined the block from Davis Street to Grove Street with vendors busy setting up their booths for the third annual Umbrella Arts Festival, a celebration of Asian art, performance, food and crafts.
Overcast weather did not deter hundreds of community members from streaming into the event, which was hosted by the Evanston Asian, South Asian Pacific Islander Americans.
