A new festival in Orange County is bringing national recording artists and regional musicians to the rural community.
In addition to live music, the inaugural Paoli Fest will also feature instrument making and gardening workshops, as well as a puppet show.
The event will take place at the Tomato Products Company building, a former factory which will house an artist-in-residence program called Black Vulture Project.
Organizer Jordana Greenberg says the space is part of what will make Paoli Fest special.
“The space is so beyond perfect, it just needed to be worked on like crazy for a couple of years, which they’ve been doing,” Greenberg says.
Renovations to the building are ongoing, but it is already being used for arts and art education.
The all-day event is free and takes place this Saturday.
