A Galactic Gathering in New Hope
From noon to 4 p.m., the streets of New Hope were alive with the sights and sounds of the Star Wars universe. Costumed characters roamed the town, delighting visitors and locals alike. Businesses joined in the festivities by offering themed food and drinks, such as the "YodaRita" cocktail at Havana and the "Tatooine Sunrise" at GreenHouse New Hope.
