If you come later in the afternoon or evening, you'll be parking far from the entrance. That's if you go on a Fri or Saturday. They had different kinds of animals to look at. Food is your typical fair food. I didn't want to eat fried food all the time, so it was nice to see some pierogis in the mix. They do have some shows going on, you'll have to look at the schedule to see if anything interests you. We probably only spent a couple hours here at the max.

There is an art area for children so all family members can enjoy their outing. Parking can be a bit of an issue and you may have to walk a few blocks, but that's just fine.

There's not a whole lot to review, quite honestly. This is probably going to be short and sweet. We…read morearrived around 5 p.m. on Saturday and nearly every booth was closed. 3 of the food vendors were still operating, but we missed one of the trucks we'd been hoping to see because they ran out of food. That apparently was a common occurrence. Most people were gathered around the band tent, but even that wasn't as packed as you'd expect. Maybe it's me, but most festivals I go to are pretty hoppin' in the evenings on Saturdays. This one felt like one of those malls that are on their last legs with a couple of shops (tents) barely hanging on. I didn't come here to really festival it up, so that's good. I really just wanted to hit one of the food trucks that was thankfully still operating when we arrived. Maybe the length of time the festival tried to operate was just too long. 13 hours is a LOOOONG day. Also, there were no signs to designate parking, at least coming from the south. There was a detour setup, and everyone was parking on residential streets, causing traffic chaos when you could only go one direction down a normally bi-directional street. But on the upside, they had a very nicely-designed map and website. So there's that.

This is a true community festival that has retained its character. The music acts are also great and they have ample seating and security for the event. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the event, especially from the Mayor and his presence. They had a great 80s band last year that really got the crowd going! Look forward to this festival every year as a 30 something year old.
