Testimonials
It's about time we had a Festival like this in our area. I attend 6 or more Festivals each year and now I have one almost in my backyard. I've told my friends, we definitely have to attend next year. Good Shopping. Good Food. Definitely Recommend. Karen, Williamsburg, VA.
My husband and I planned a mini-vacation to attend this Festival and I am so glad we did. The quality of the artists was exceptional. We are consummate art festival junkies and we found so many new and unusual types and styles of art. The variety of artists and the quality of their of their work made this one of the best festivals we have attended. We a looking forward to attending next year. R. R., Harrisburg, PA
I am now a local resident and coming from a large metropolitan area with many festivals, I was surprised and delighted to have an event with such a variety of artists and art work in my back yard. Congratulations to the organizers they have done a great job bringing this event to our area.
