According to Baldwin Administrative Assistant John Dills, over 40 vendors from the local area and metro Atlanta are scheduled to attend this year’s event.

Various foods will be available, from burgers and bar-b-que to seafood and sweet treats. There will also be a variety of crafts for sale, from spray-paint art to custom bracelets and jewelry.

Jeep Ride, games and entertainment

The festival starts with a noon Jeep ride from 130 Airport Road downtown. You don’t need to register. T-shirts will be available for the first 25 participants.
