The Sweet Pea Festival of the Arts returns for its 49th year, bringing music, theater, dance, and family fun to Lindley Park from August 7–9. Headliner Brian Fennell channels life’s raw emotions into his new album “Nobody Lives Here,” turning music into therapy that connects deeply with listeners. The festival also celebrates local artistry through a vibrant market, featuring standout poster design by Elise Holmes—a meadowlark clutching a sweet pea, symbolizing peace and hope.
