The Lebanon Optimist Club is made up of only volunteers. The festival is the club's primary fundraiser. All proceeds are re-invested in the Lebanon and Warren County community through grants to child-focused organizations, festival organizers said.
In addition to the music, people can also enjoy a unique assortment of festival food vendors, artisan and craftsmen booths. The festival also features a custom car show.
