In addition, there will be cooking demonstrations, with the Food Network's Robert Irvine and actor Jason Biggs joining in (the latter serving as host).

Attendees can also enjoy amusement park rides at Jolly Roger At The Pier or shop at Artsy Boho, which offers Bohemian clothes, handmade backpacks, and healing crystals.


Incidentally, more live music is on tap for the area next month. From the third through fifth of October, the Country Calling Festival will be held.

Among the names are LeAnn Rimes, The Band Perry, Carrie Underwood, Wynonna Judd, and Brooks & Dunn.
