The second annual Ballard URban Picnic took place on a hot late summer day this year, making Parfait's organic ice cream a hot item. Adria Shimada from Parfait served up refreshing cones of delicious ice cream all day.

As temperatures surpassed 80 degrees on Saturday, September 10, many Ballardites cooled down with an ice cream cone from Parfait or in the beergarden at the second annual Ballard Urban Picnic.
While Beth Miller from the Ballard Chamber of Commerce said the crowd was smaller than anticipated, the people that did attend were having a great time listening to local bands, enjoying the many mobile food vendors, and playing in the Ballard Commons water fountains. Between the water fountains, an inflatable slide and bounce house, and face painting, most fun was had by the kids.
On stage many bands warmed up the crowd but the band that got everyone tapping their feet or dancing was 70's rock band, Matt the Hoopla. Matt the Hoopla is a band formed by Matt Bazemore, a Ballard artist whose paintings are currently on display at Miro Tea.
