Held at scenic Aaron Bessant Park from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, the festival features non-stop entertainment and an uplifting, welcoming atmosphere for visitors and locals alike.
Spend the day browsing food trucks serving delicious fare, exploring retail vendors, watching the kids go wild on bounce houses and carnival rides, and enjoying live performances on the main stage.
