Curated History
* Upon checking this event's official website on 4 Apr 2026 this text was discovered, "Unfortunately our 2024 'new' location did not work out, and we had no time to find a new site to have a festival this year. We believe we have found a new and even better site, and we hope to have an announcement sometime in the late fall. Keep a weathered eye out!" So it appears that the most recent edition of this event was in 2023.
