I'm told the Farmers Market vendors will not be at the pavilion, but rather along Pearl Street with all the other vendors. That would be a correction from NA Confidential's previous posting.
Thanks to the festival organizers for providing this correction.
I would encourage people to be sure and watch some of the bike races. Especially the Cat 1 racers. Go stand on a corner where they are making a turn after a straight stretch. You will not believe the rush of wind that hits you. These racers really fly.
