Entertainment
Continuous entertainment on two stages will feature over 25 performing groups featuring Caribbean, country, classical, rock ‘n’ roll and swing music. Roving clowns, magicians, balloon artists and jugglers will also delight both young and old. Parents can find entertainment just for the very young festival-goers on a third stage set up in the Children's Hands-On Area.

Food Court
Since we all know shopping works up an appetite, you can take a break to sample some of the hearty fare from the food court including burritos, bratwurst, BBQ Beef, fajitas, funnel cakes, fresh lemonade and fruit smoothies!

Creation Station Kids' Hands-On Area
The children’s Hands-On Area will keep little ones busy all weekend as they create art and craft projects that excite the imagination and encourage a sense of great achievement. Who knows...you may be living with a “Picasso”!

Beer Garden
Stop by the beer garden hosted by the Greeley Chamber Orchestra and savor a “cold one” while enjoying the Center Stage music!
