Yesterday, 18th July, the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District organised the Grand Bazaar as part of its three-day-festival.
Held in the newly opened Golden Square, the bazaar was firstly a chance for visitors to check out creative stalls and how some of the quarter's industries work.
These jars contained a floating algae that is a Japanese sign of good luck.
To add a soundtrack to everything, the The Stage Bus provided live perfomances.
The first was a musical performance by the Night Project.
"Is this where the bingo's at?"
One of them, Letty, said we can see more of them in the Black Country. Tempting, considering those moves.
Invited was also the Royal Institute of British Architects who offered free architectural advice to visitors.
Ian Allerston was one of the architects. At the start of the bazaar, he had mostly dealt with requests to extend Victorian houses.
What he likes most about his job is having diversity: going from residential projects to factories and businesses the next day. As for people coming to the bazaar, he had only one piece of advice:
The Birmingham Camera Obscura project was also present with a wooden camera that projected the festival.
His master, Tom Ellis, has been making creatures since he was a kid.
The festival continued on Sunday through the Jewellery Quarter with businesses having Open Studios all day.
