We arrived early to avoid the crowds!! Good move! The day was gorgeous and I went with a girlfriend! The staff was friendly at the entrance-$15 fee a bit steep since it doesn't include anything!! The venue was pretty straight forward- Food, Some Entertainment and a few vendors! We weren't WOWed by the event- nothing out of the norm. We sampled some delicious pasta and had a yummy pastry as well! But, could have saved the $15 and just frequented an Italian restaurant...we did enjoy people watching and the gorgeous park area! Some helpful ideas-allow more space for walkway areas-when it started getting crowded it was annoying trying to move through the crowd of strollers and foot traffic making it impossible to really stop and look at the wares the vendors were trying to sell.
It was a pleasant time but not really sure what the $15 funded???
