We invite you to join us for a week of live music, interactive booths, educational activities, food vendors and more.

This annual event raises funds to better preserve, maintain and promote the park and is an excellent way to connect the community to this world-class historical site.

Take a look at the schedule of events and plan your trip to the festival!
