It all kicks off June 28 with the gala opening of the festival and a juried group art show “Misty Rivers and Waterfalls,” which continues all week, plus musical entertainment by Classical Act and refreshments at the art gallery at 7 p.m.
Saturday starts with the farmers market at market square, and the day features Boss Blues band playing the first Concerts in the Park at 7 p.m. in George Little Park.
