Art in the Park Festival

Hi there, I’d like to advertise our application portal being open for our festival, and closer to the date- advertise our festival. It’s free, all ages, hosts live music from very popular folk / blues/ Jazz musicians. We boast an annual attendance of over 71,000 in two days. We have over 300 artists from across the United States, and our food trucks are pretty spectacular too.

We were just notified that we are still in the “10 Best Art Festivals in the United States” list, and we’ve won a few awards too.

Oh, we’ve got a shark mascot…who is pretty rad.

Anyway…please let me know.

Thanks,

Brandie Soden
(Director of this crazy festival)

P.S.- I’ve included a draft of our festival poster. It’s not for display, but it gives you an idea of our vibe.
