After posing with the sunnies, you can enjoy the festival’s 60+ activities like a ninja course, skee ball, and corn cob beach. Then, when you’re ready to cool off from all your fun in the sun, order food or sip wine slushies, cider, and beer from KC Wine Co.

Did that plant a seed for you? Get tickets for $14.95 online, $19.95 at the door.
