Over 150 artisans from all over the nation gather in Greeley to sell their hand-made wares ranging from pottery, paintings, and photography to glassware, gourmet food, and garden art! Well, known Colorado bands performing everything from rock, blues, and folk to big band, bluegrass, and honky-tonk entertain on two stages while balloon artists, magicians, circus troupes, and stilt-walkers stroll through the park throughout the weekend.
