The schedule

  • Greek coffee, beer, and wine are on the beverage menu.

The need-to-knows

Admission is $5 and valid all weekend. First responders with valid ID + children 12 and under receive free admission. Off-site parking and shuttle services will be located at First Presbyterian Church — 4815 Franklin Pk.
