"August is a slower part of the month for Morristown. So we thought, hey you know what, we got a great green. We got a great square in the center of our town. Why not put on some type of festival?" he said.
He said they got great feedback from last years.
Bars and restaurants around the green did great business, so why not do it again.
Besides, the festival itself is that great four letter f-word - FREE!
The festival is set to end at 10 p.m.
