Our exciting Festival is a free event to the public and includes two stages of free entertainment daily, a beer gardens, a wine bar and a youth area which is dedicated space for kids and family activities.

The Festival stretches down Commercial Ave from 10th Street all the way to Railroad Ave.  Along that route, you’ll get to experience Booth Artisans, Main and Jazz Stages, two Beer and Wine Gardens, Food trucks and vendors, a Kids Discovery Area,  Artists Demonstrating their craft,  AND Arts at the Depot Fine Art Show.  And it’s free…

We hope you’ll come for a day or the weekend and help us celebrate our beautiful community and the creative spirit.

The Fine Art Exhibition is the crown jewel of the Festival, showcasing over 100 regional contemporary fine artists.  In 2024 the fine art venue will change to the historic Depot Art Center, 2 blocks east of the main Festival thoroughfare.
