Food and Entertainment

What the Event Game Team Liked Best

Workshop participants appreciated the variety of both entertainment and food particularly the presence of alternatives to the usual carnival or midway fare. They liked the large tent at 11th Street, the street performers throughout the Festival grounds, and felt the entertainment venues made good places to gather.

What Could Be Improved

They noticed a lack of clear signage and thought the beer garden should be closer to the main stage. They thought the main stage seating lacked shade. They observed that some trash receptacles needed to be emptied and supply areas could have been cleaner. The vendor booths were seen as blocking access to the Gene Leahy Mall area.
