Fireworks update: For those who joined us for Fireworks on Saturday night and wondered about the interruptions, the heavy wind and rain between 8:00 and 8:40 pm caused a mis-fire at the beginning of the show.  Some of the fireworks did not go off as planned.  Our fireworks company has promised to make it up to us next year and make it a spectacular show!

Concerned about our environment?  WE ARE!  Our Eco Team is always hard at work planning to make our Festival even more successful by dramatically reducing its ecological footprint - such as - encouraging our visitors to take our shuttle bus or ride their bike.  We also will be manually sorting tons of garbage into compost and recycling - so we ask you to place your waste in the right place!   For more info click here for our Simply Green Program.

Our Festival only remains FREE only because of community minded volunteers.  So if you've enjoyed our Festival why not help out.
