Finally, to wrap up the festival, Camp Sunnyside will be held on May 25 at Fair Market. This brunch event is designed to be more convenient than last year’s location and is sure to be a delicious way to end an exciting weekend.
Tickets for each event can be purchased separately, allowing guests to customize their festival experience.
