It's our annual tip of the hat to summer as we soak up the remaining sunshine and dive into mountains of fresh sweet corn - surrounded by amazing local and regional blues. Stop by the GLT booth to grab one of our coolest T-shirts. There are 3 new designs created by Eric & Melanie at Artezen Design and Chris at Half Hazard Press. Get 'em while supplies last!

Ears are cooked on site and served with plenty of butter, or you can take home a sack to cook for yourself. Uptown merchants offer sidewalk sales, there are loads of craft vendors, and Friends of the Constitution Trail are providing FREE valet bike parking. You could also take a Connect Transit bus Saturday and Sunday, dropping you off at Uptown Station, right at the fest's doorstep. 

If you prefer to drive, here's where to park.

See you there!
