The lineup of musical performances includes: Boris Garcia, Barley Juice, Pure Jerry, J.B. Kline Band and Blue Wave Ramblers. Food and drink vendors include: Local Harvest Pizza, Mama Dees Empanadas, Momma D’s Lunch Box, Reinier Clabbers Famous Falafel, Jeremy Simmers Gourmet Cookies & Coffees, Vivat Alfa Winery and Crooked Eye Brewery.

There will be many craft merchants and artisans at the event spanning a full range of offerings, from quilts to tie dye to leather goods, jewelry, clothing, hats, paintings and fine arts, keychains, vintage, soaps, printed material, stained glass and more. Face painters and magicians will be on hand to entertain the younger audiences.
