The festival will feature live music from four bands–Avilion, the Funk Nuggets, Steel Moon and Hatter–as well as a kids’ corral with live animals and craft activities, exhibits by local rescue and conservation groups, a plant and bake sale, and more. Tickets are now on sale on Eventbrite for a discounted price of $25 per person or $40 per couple. Tickets will be $30 per person at the gate. (Children under 12 are free.)
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets to the festival for outdoor seating.
