There is a magical place where life-size Technicolor dinosaurs and wolves gyrate and mingle with giant, creamy cupcakes puffed as big as clouds. Smiling Popsicles bob alongside karate-kicking toddlers.

Toes tapped under cafe tables as students sipped chocolate-drizzled frappuccinos and slurped Marble Slab ice cream from the bottom of waffle cones.

The corners of Sumter and Calhoun Streets came alive this weekend as hundreds flocked to Columbia's 26th annual Greek Festival. Visitors were met by the sounds of Greek music and dance, sights of cultural mementos up for sale and, of course, the smells of Greek cuisine; the Mediterranean delicacies drew many to the festival. Vendors offered an array of dishes. Souvlaki, a marinated pork skewer, was the choice of a large number of visitors. For those looking for a sweet treat, loukoumades, the Greek take on a doughnut, was the way to go. Even people who thought the authentic cuisine looked "all Greek to me" could pick up chicken fingers and fries for a more familiar meal. Of course, no trip to the festival would be complete without a stop at the gyro tent; the pita dish stuffed with a beef and lamb blend was a popular pick.

There's always a list of songs that define the summer. Some are overplayed, and some are undiscovered, but each adds a melody and memory to the three months of sun, sand and afternoon naps. We've been asked to call Carly Rae Jepsen, maybe. And Adam Levine is still fresh out of quarters. But aside from the radio favorites, what albums defined this summer's discography? Here are a few.
Small but enthusiastic crowds flocked to Finlay Park this weekend for the inaugural Famously Hot Music Festival, three days worth of live music in the capital city.
