Savor the Sweet Sounds of Summer!
For eight Friday evenings in summer, Front Street comes alive with the magic of friends, family, community and live music. Life is sweet, and the musicians wrap the night with their warm embrace. Sparks fly off heels, hips twirl in the softly fading light, and friends share a moment of reunion in the street. It’s a spirit not to be missed and for some strange and mystical reason, it happens right here.

- PLEASE do not carry alcohol outside the Faire boundaries—this is also illegal
- PLEASE do not bring your own chairs or blankets anywhere under the tents or under the pavilion

FAQs
- Q: Can I bring food to the Faire?
- A: Yes, but why not try a Downtown restaurant or some of the excellent Faire cuisine?
- Q: Can I bring alcohol to the Faire?
- A: Absolutely not.
- Q: What beverages are for sale?

- Q: Can I bring my dog to the Faire?

- A: Yes, but the chairs CANNOT be set up under the tents or the pavilion.
- Q: Where is First Aid?

- Q: Is there a lost and found?
- A: Yes, at the north ticket sales booth.
