3. Downtown Festival and Art Show

The Buzz -- Considered one of the area's best arts shows, this annual autumn event offers something for everyone, family and individual alike. Artists from all over the region set up their works for sale: jewelry, photography, ceramics, acrylics, watercolors, sculpture and more. Children are engaged by interactive activities and age-appropriate shows, and three stages promise a variety of musical performances. Plenty of food is available, both international and American, and the weekend event always proves to be a popular draw.
