WEATHER FORECAST & WHAT TO PACK
The 2024 Millpond Music Festival is fast approaching and happening rain or shine!
The weather forecast (as of Tuesday, September 17, at noon) is here!
The weather can be unpredictable here, so be prepared with…
Layers, rain gear, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and bug spray (if the mosquitoes love you as much as we do).
It’s a whole weekend filled with laughter and music, but if you find yourself asking the following frequently after the first day:
