Cultural Foods

If you're fancying some Asian cuisine, like festival-goer Denise was, then chicken-on-a-stick sided with some teriyaki is the perfect choice for you. She said that she tried it out one year and has loved it ever since. She gets it at every festival that offers it.

Desserts

It's hard to resist the traditional taste of funnel cakes, and festival-goer Jack O'Toole is one of those people. He says he gets it every year at Arts Fest and that it's a tradition. It also gives him a good excuse to come down to the festival!

Traditional Festival Foods

What would a festival be without pizza? The Arts Festival offers delicious fresh out-of-the-oven pizzas, with your choice of pepperoni, plain and more! Festival-goer Justin Baker says that even though it is his first time at the festival, he loves pizza and it looked too good to pass up! Another festival favorite seemed to be none other than the corn dog! With a variety of condiments to top them, it was hard for Melanie Ventrice to refuse one! It is her first year attending the festival, but with all the art to see and music performances, she wanted something tasty and easy to eat… a corn dog, perfect!

Drinks

If your looking for a cold and refreshing drink to wash down all the good food from the festival, lemonade is the way to go. Festival-goer Roberta Miller gets lemonade every year she comes to Arts Festival. She says it's tasty, not too sweet and it's perfect on a hot, sunny day!
