Over the past several years those curating the festival have successfully edited the scope and variety of artists and craftsmen. To this end the event has become more satisfying and less repetitive.
"I began my Christmas shopping at the festival with a focus on quality vs. quantity. A very successful outing." -- Duane Carbine
"This is an amazing festival! There are hundreds of vendors from fine art to pottery, craft items and food. They also offer live music and a variety of street performers. The whole area is decked out for the holidays with lights, trees and other decorations. A fun and free experience." - John Evers
