The thousands of attendees got to enjoy food booths, bounce houses, musical acts, and hundreds of vendors.
“What makes this a great, great festival is that the people can actually make and bring their own products for sale,” Avis, an attendee, told KNX News' Emily Valdez. “I love the homemade. Nothing wrong with big box stores, but to have something personalized and made especially for you by people who represent you is wonderful.”
