Local bands and soloists will perform throughout the weekend, creating a festive and relaxing atmosphere.
Family-Friendly Activities: Bring the kids to the family art tent to create together. Art supplies and projects will be available to give little ones creative time. There will also be a kids scavenger hunt that makes exploring the entire show an adventure for everyone!
