Everybody’s gearing up, reservations are being made, and plans are in the final stages. This year the annual Rooftop Rodeo and the world famous Scottish-Irish Highland Festival are going to be bigger than ever with more exciting events and activities scheduled. There will truly be something for everyone.
Also, if you can’t make it to those events there are some fun and unique weekends planned for horse lovers, car aficionados, music and art connoisseurs and lots more.
If you do plan to attend either of these events, it is recommended that you make your reservations now as they tend to sell out early.

The JAZZ FEST & ART WALK mid-May event is one of the highlights of the spring season – a kind of musical kickoff for the busy summer. It’s deliberately planned to be the same weekend as Art Walk, so you can visit galleries, listen to some of the best musical talent in the region, have lunch, visit more galleries, and hear more music. Stop by just to listen briefly while you’re out on the Art Walk, or bring your own blanket or lawn chairs and camp out for the afternoon to listen to the music. The Jazz Fest is adjacent to the Silver Moon Inn at Performance Park.
Performers and specific schedules are released in March.
