The 18th annual [Bayfest](http://www.bigbayfest.org/?ref=bklyner.com) is hitting the streets of Sheepshead Bay this Sunday, May 17th. Bay Improvement Group, the festival’s organizer, is promising a bigger event than last year’s, and hopefully the weather will be more accommodating than [2008’s mid-day showers](/blog1.php/big/photo-rainy-day-at-bayfest).

The completely free, all-day celebration of Sheepshead Bay kicks off at noon and features the badass musical stylings of “[Legendary Lead Guitarist of Supergroup Vanilla Fudge Vince Martell](http://bigbayfest.googlepages.com/vincemartell?ref=bklyner.com)“… also known as *this guy*:

(Yes, it’s the same joke I made last year. Sorry, but that guy’s look just throws me into fits of giggles every time I see it. That’s not to disparage him… he’s a fantastic performer and Bayfest will be a great show.)

Martell will be playing alongside [Peg Pearl & Friends](http://bigbayfest.googlepages.com/pegpearl?ref=bklyner.com) and [Greg Bravo of Steam](http://www.gregbravo.com/?ref=bklyner.com).

In addition to the music, other great entertainment is planned, including:

- Amusement rides, face painting, cartoon characters & arts ‘n’ crafts
- FDNY Fireboat Display
- Wildlife talks & demonstrations by organizations like the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, NY Aquarium & the Department of Environmental Conservation
- Sailing demonstrations and views of historic sailboats
- 50-50 Raffle

Be sure to bring your family out, because it’ll definitely be a fun Sunday.
