There is a wonderful sense of community at the event as participation from artisans, vendors, community groups, local business and volunteerism hold the foundations of the organization. They stand firmly on the strength of their programming and ability to present the best headliners and musical talent free to those who attend, making the Festival of Friends such a highly anticipated and well-attended festival.
