We will also have local vendors in our festival to keep your tummy full and happy! To keep all visitors safe, we will not be hosting our annual music festival this year. However, we have replaced that with even more exciting and larger-than-life exhibits to show you.  This year, we have an all-new exhibit entitled Lumi’s Utopia and we will be bringing back  Lumi’s Friends this year for another exciting holiday festival.
