The jam-packed schedule includes:

  • 40+ carnival rides
  • Craft, gardening + dance competitions
  • Local food trucks and vendors
  • Livestock shows
  • Regional music from the Mountain Music Festival
  • Pig races, both running and swimming (oh yes, swimming pigs)
  • Acrobatics and magic shows
