This festival runs on the first Friday and Saturday of October every year.
This festival is free to enjoy and is full of thrilling things to do, from listening to live music to exploring the arts and crafts created by an endless selection of vendors from all over the country. If you love running, you can sign up for the four-mile road race on Love Street, or you can become a taste tester for one of the cooking and baking contests.
