ALCOHOL-FREE FUN: The arts are the focus of the third annual RainbowMoon Fest, taking place July 8 at Glenmoore Farm in Hopewell. This is a family-friendly celebration of the arts and wellness.

Celebrating local-area and regional musicians, artists and artisans, holistic teachers and merchants traveling from the Jersey shore, Philadelphia, upstate New York, California, and Mexico, the festival has a family carnival vibe with face painting, roaming hula hoopers, slinky spinning on a PEV (personal electric vehicle), jugglers, stilt walkers, acrobats, aerialists, bamboo staff twirling, and acro yogis, with live music, song circles, wellness activities, workshops, unique merchandise and food vendors.

The RainbowMoon Fest offers a Vendor Village and multiple stages with music, performers and immersive educational wellness workshops as well as a kids waterpark area to stay cool. The Thompson Preserve nature trail is directly accessible from the property.
