The Festival is community spirited, family-centered, and includes over 100 booths of juried arts and crafts, educational exhibits, food from local eateries, and family fun. There is live music on the stage all day and beer garden featuring local craft beers. The Festival draws a diverse crowd of all ages. Admission is free.
