Cold use festival dates now for 2020. Could use a nice map of vendors with emphasis on fixed properties like all year shops and restaurants within the festival grounds. Could use organized parking. Went both days. Great art at some vendors. Bought honey and homemade licorice. Bought a book from the author. Make an all day visit and enjoy the coffeehouses and restaurants on the event streets. It was great fun. Crowed Saturday but less so Sunday. (Sunday cool front). I'm coming back next year
