Musical offerings have grown to include Celtic, Slovenian, Gospel and bluegrass, and a pioneer re-enactment has been part of the festival's attractions. A festival tradition is audience participation in music. Festival goers who bring musical instruments are given free admission. Festival fare offers the typical hamburgers and hot dogs, but also bratwurst, potato pancakes, sweet potato pie, and pierogis. By 1999 the festival has grown to 110 crafts and 48 hours of music, performed on eight stages, which included barbershop harmony singing, klezmer, Latin American music from the Andes, and gospel.
