The Festivities – There are no flashy headliners or admission fees (unlike that other summer-end festival)--it's simply a four-day fest showcasing local and international artists and the music, art, stories and crafts they create in their daily lives. With more than 1,000 performances on 19 stages, everyone finds something to love, from bluegrass to bagpipes. Various dance lessons are offered daily, there are more than 35 food booths and the craft marketplace sells one-of-a kind goods.
