And while you're here, take a look at last year’s fest:
My only recommendation is to consider bringing your own chairs or blankets to sit on. Plenty of room on the lawns for you to set up your own spots. But not a lot picnic tables set up for everyone. However, if you don't mind sitting inside, or need to sit inside to get out of the heat, they do have a ton of tables & chairs set up in the Civic Center. That's another plus you don't see at other cities' tastes :-) Hoping there will be even more vendors signing up. Nothing against the ones already signed up...but since Orland has opened up a few more restaurants this year, it would be great if they could afford to do a tent. Its a great way to try out new places without having to pay for whole meal.
