In addition to music, there are over 250 art and food booths to peruse as well. The festival is hosted by the Bohemian Foundation and the Downtown Fort Collins Business Association. The Bohemian Foundation is a family foundation that works to build strong communities locally, nationally and even globally. Staying in line with their foundation, there will be two kid-friendly sections at this year’s festival, like the last.
