About the Festival
For over 20 years, visitors have been attracted to Historic Downtown for the annual art festival that takes place on the wide sidewalks of Main Street. In 2007, the festival took it up a notch by adding outstanding musical acts that kept visitors dancing in the streets. In 2010 we added the Country Bluegrass Stage for even more music over the weekend.

I am the new Events Manager for Fitch Construction. I would like to have someone e-mail the info needed to possibly obtain a vendor space. Please include the price with this.
