Festival attendees can enjoy live entertainment at Skypoint at N. Broadway and 2nd Avenue N. all day. This year the scheduled entertainment under Skypoint concludes with something special and close to the hearts of many involved with the festival. This year we are hosting Bubbles for Imogen at Skypoint at 2:30pm to honor the life of little Imogen Hutchinson. She was only nineteen months old when she passed away the morning of HarvestFest 2021. Imogen’s parents, Travis and Hannah, shared how much she loved the outdoors, bubbles, and was keen on a lively musical dance session. So we are combining all three to honor her memory on the one year anniversary of her passing. We have about two-hundred and fifty bottles of bubbles to give free to kids six and younger as well as stickers from Imogen’s mom to give out as well. We hope the community will help us blow hundreds of bubbles while we dance under Skypoint to honor her life and her family who miss her daily.
Imogen’s dad, Travis Hutchinson, is a friend of ours here in downtown, he helps with the annual Purple 5k and many other local races. Her uncle, Justin Hutchinson will be the festival MC again this year.

The annual Beer Garden stein hoisting contest returns this year. TDS Fiber joins the Beer garden this year. They will have College Football streaming from their van for everyone to enjoy.
