There will also be a sculpture garden (which features installation works by local artists as well as Wesleyan students!) Also, there will be yummy food...and a GIANT inflatable Earth (I'm pumped about that).

The festival is taking place at Veterans Memorial Park. Where's that, you ask? The google answer:
Hmm, hopefully you can tell that the park is really close and you can totally walk. If that's not your thing, though, there will be a shuttle service and a group biking to the festival:
  • Shuttle buses will be making stops at the following locations throughout the Festival:
    • Green St. Arts Center (51 Green Street, Middletown, CT 06457)
    • Wesleyan University Admission Office parking Lot (Lot E)
    • Main Street between the police station and Amici’s restaurant (100 Riverview Ctr, Middletown CT 06457). (Entrance to Riverview parking deck on Court St.)
The festival will happen rain or shine! See the website for more information/fun times.
