🎶 Enjoy Live Music All Weekend
What’s a fall event without music? Local artists and bands take the stage throughout both days, creating the perfect soundtrack for shopping and family fun. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and settle in for performances that range from acoustic sets to full band lineups.
