Bring your kids to meet the pirates or jump around in the giant fun center, bring your friends to peruse the aisles of vendor booths, and if you’re feeling competitive, get yourself involved in the Nail ‘n’ Sail Competition!

Whatever you’re looking for this weekend, as long as you want to be under the sun, this festival is definitely for you!

And you should want to be in the sun… because our sweet summer is about to be over!

(No pressure or anything…)
