Came here for Art in the Park Festival, review is for that:

The Art in the Park event takes place over a single weekend (Oct. 7-8, 2023) in October, running from 9 am to 4 pm. I was captivated by its expansive scale and the multitude of vendors it attracted. There was certainly an abundance of delightful crafts available for purchase. However, I couldn't help but wish for more live art experiences, such as vibrant paintings being created in real-time, captivating poetry readings, or even friendly competitions, to truly transform this event into a festival-like ambiance. Nevertheless, it still exudes a unique charm, even though it feels more akin to a sprawling flea market with some crafty stuff for sale rather than an immersive art festival. Among the talented artists present, the Laughing Bear Art exhibit stood out, featuring incredibly adorable paintings that bring a genuine smile to your face, created by a truly amiable artist. Additionally, I had the pleasure of purchasing some exquisite holiday earrings crafted by talented jewelry makers. There were also a ton of food and beverage options, including alcohol. Fun way to spend a few hours.

Park is nice, clean, and spacious.
