Chestnut Hill’s annual Fall for the Arts festival drew a crowd of thousands who strolled the Avenue on Sunday until a mid-afternoon downpour sent attendees running for cover and vendors scurrying to protect their artwork, clothing, jewelry and other items displayed in booths along the route from Willow Grove to Rex Avenues. Shortly after the rain started, vendors began packing up.

Children at the Jenks School Fun Fest schoolyard enjoyed face painting and games, while others dined on international cuisine, sipped a cocktail or purchased that perfect gift for the holidays.
