This was our first time visiting. Admission was free, and parking was not hard to find. Be prepared to pay 10$ for a parking spot, or ride the light rail - which is also close. We watched the drums and the swords men. Both were very cool. And there were plenty of food vendors and other exhibits. Most of the food vendors were cash only, but ATMs were close by. We had an awesome afternoon. There were plenty of people in various costumes. I look forward to visiting next year.
