Is it me, or did the Rossini Festival used to be more than just one afternoon? In this case, one darned, non-stop, raining afternoon. If they did cut down on the time for the festival, anyone know why?

The Rossini Festival Italian Street Fair has always been a single-day event, as far as I can remember. There are, however, opera performances the day before and the day after the street fair.
