This year will feature newnight hours from 6–10 p.m. and a larger ride vendor offering wrist bands. A zipline company is also being considered. Last year, the festival introduced a beer garden, a second entertainment stage and a petting zoo with pony rides. The 5K, 1K and Kid’s Fun Run are perennially popular.
