An annual festival of music and activities for the whole family is making its return to Princeton this Summer.
The fifth edition of the Copper Valley Music Festival, presented by the Princeton Community Arts Council, is set to hit the stage at a new venue this year — the Princeton Exhibition Grounds — from August 15 to 17. Festivities kick off on Friday from 6:45 p.m. to 9 p.m., followed by a Saturday schedule from 1:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. before wrapping up on the final day from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The family-friendly event is open to everyone of all ages, and entry is by donation.
Aside from bands and performers, the festival will also have an art show, children's activities, a raffle, concession stands and much more to keep the entertainment and fun flowing throughout the weekend. The council stated they are spending an "unprecedented amount" on advertising this year to grow the festival even more.
As this year's edition is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever, the council is calling out for vendors to help make the festival one to remember. The vendor fee is $20, which includes membership to the Princeton Community Arts Council, and is valid for all three days of the festival.
