Being held on Ritter Island near Hagerman on Sept. 25th and 26th, 2010. With over 4,000 guests having traveled off the beaten path to attend last year’s event, organizers are sure the festival is only going to grow in popularity.
Many of the 60-plus artisans who have participated in the festival are nationally recognized. All of the work is quality, in addition to being affordable.
Danny Marona, a regionally recognized comedian, will MC the event.
So, if you missed that certain kind of pottery, glasswork or vintage-designed clothing that you always meant to buy but postponed, you finally have another chance this year to grab that special artwork.
As always, the festival will feature two full days of live music. It includes jazz, acoustical guitar, blues and more. The sound system pumps music throughout the park so that you can enjoy it while you’re sitting in front of the sound stage, sitting under the shade trees, enjoying a meal of local food specialties such as Basque cuisine, authentic Mexican, barbecued pork or locally raised trout, or sharing a glass of wine or beer with friends, or perusing the crafts and information booths.
There will be kids activities and lots of demonstrations from skilled craftsmen and artisans. You can take a canoe ride or a hay ride and enjoy the beauty of Ritter Island, which many Idahoans consider simply to be the most beautiful spot in the entire state.
