This year, we will also have THREE fun photo opportunities! Local artist Riley Mills will be installing a mural on site for the weekend & Triangle Twirl will be bringing two photobooth options for guests to enjoy starting at 4:30pm.
The first photobooth will be an interactive experience capturing fun 360 degree slow-motion videos of our guests! This one holds up to SEVEN people, comes with themed colonial props, & will be located inside the mural park on King Street. The second will be a roaming photographer using AI to transform your image into a revolutionary soldier, lady of the day, or drum & fife musician. Both are free to the public & participants will receive their images instantly to post on social media!
