Sunfest was (and may still be) an annual art and music festival held in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, usually in early May. I went to several events in the late '80s and early '90s. I shot photos of the performers and of the crowds there.”
These fascinating photos of this festival Steven Martin shot from 1987 to 1992.
