It’s called the Sawdust Festival for a reason. Yes, those are piles of sawdust – last year’s sawdust, filled with memories, stale beer and hundreds of thousands of shoe prints.
The sawdust is replaced – and recycled – once a year before festival season, according to Franky Duschane, festival Director of Marketing and PR.
The new sawdust – which needs to cover most of the ground’s roughly three acres – will be added in early June. Opening day is June 24. For more information visit; https://sawdustartfestival.org/.
