It’s a whole lot of fun. The festival has live music on the Ocean Stage from nine bands playing from noon until 9:30 p.m., and seven more bands play on the Orange Street Stage from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

There’s also an art show, with more than 50 local and regional artists, as well as food – and of course, drinks.

Admission is free. More information is available on the festival’s Facebook page.
