Last year, for the 40th Festival, we had the biggest and best crowd EVER. Thanks to all of the volunteers, musicians, artists, and community members who made it all happen! It was a wonderful day.
Franklin Russell of Athens GA Live Music (Here on YouTube and Here on Facebook) recorded videos of each of the musical performers on the main stage and has posted the videos to YouTube. Here is his playlist:
