Ton of fun. Live music. Local artists. Great food. Some complain that you have to pay to park but this is a big undertaking and it is a fundraiser for the area so deal with it. Shuttle buses were constant and even if you walked it was not a big deal. Food and drinks were not cheap but what is these days? It was quality LOCAL food! Tons of activities for kids as well. This years festival was our first and we are already looking forward to 2024! Got a couple of great pieces...
I was excited to go to the festival as a tourist, especially for the food. I went early, at 11am, but the food area was so narrow, it was hard to move. The tickets, which you had to purchase in advance, were $1 per ticket, and most items were $10-$30 with everything. There was no easy place to sit and eat, either. The art was the highlight, but it, too, was crowded. It needs to be in a larger, more spacious vendor and tickets need to be eliminated.
I share some of the same sentiments as others. You better get there early #1. Parking is very limited (although they do have bussing!) $5 for parking and $5 aperson to get in. You have to buy tickets to get food/drinks. Tickets are worth a buck a piece. Food is $20 -$25 or more possibly. That means you are carrying around a WAD of tickets. Food is expensive and portions arent the greatest at some vendors. We were there relatively early & went to eat about 1030-1100...
