This year, there will be 3 stages; the Kickoff Stage, a DJ stage, and a brand-new Folk stage for those who like to look, listen, and most importantly, dance, dance, dance. All the great food and original crafts that visitors expect from the traditional Sunday event is on hand, just in smaller doses.
