There will be plenty of delicious food (this year includes BBQ salmon!) and drink available, as well as local arts and crafts booths, educational booths to learn about Trinity County's rich natural history, fun games and festivities for kids, a farmer's market, and much more. The Festival is being organized and sponsored in part by the Trinity County Arts Council. Admission is free.
