Music that Moves You
Now, if you love music, the lineup this year was out of this world! We were treated to performances from talented local bands playing everything from jazz to rock.

Activities for All Ages
Whether you brought the kids or came alone, there was something fun for everyone. Face painting, art stations, games, and contests for the little ones kept them entertained while parents could relax and soak in the atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see the kiddos giggling as they got their faces painted like superheroes, and let’s not forget about the petting zoo! I mean, who doesn’t love cute little animals?
