Sponsor message

Our vision is to bring the community together for a few days, to share a fun musical adventure that also helps reintroduce the neighborhood to the downtown businesses.

To that end, we desire the help and support of local business and in turn, ask for the help and support of the community to support those same local businesses after the pandemic.

The festival is the main way to get both of these efforts together. The community is ready, so ready to gather, listen, eat, share, laugh, put the past year behind and move forward together.
