This year the event has a wide range of activities and entertainment to enjoy: A reptile show, birds of prey show, circus performances, a science show, dancers, a T-rex exhibit, and princesses and superheroes for the kids to take photos with.

Other activities include mini-golf, pony rides, train rides, a petting zoo, rock climbing, jousting, and various sports including soccer and badminton.
