Ocrafolk Festival Artisan Application Deadline Approaching (Feb 28). Just a reminder to artisans applying for booth consideration for the 2023 Ocrafolk Festival, that our deadline is two weeks earlier this year, or February 28th. We had several requests last year to move our acceptance date so that artists would have more time to book lodging. Don't miss out!

Our previously announced restaurant closing of Tuesday, Feb 28 through Thursday, March 2 has now been pushed back by a week. TRiO's restaurant will be open regular hours the first week of March! Current plans (we are at the mercy of contractors) have our restaurant being closed Tuesday, March 7 through Thursday, March 9 as we pivot through the initial stages of construction on our expanded kitchen.

Thank you for your understanding!
