The fair is not just about music, though. It offers a variety of rides and games, providing fun activities for all ages. Food and beverage options are plentiful, with a Craft Beer Tent serving local brews and wine, accompanied by live music.
The fair also features a variety of vendors offering mouthwatering eats and handmade items, adding to the lively atmosphere.
