we actually have a folk festival AND a jazz festival, so you were both right. WAY too touristy. i never go to any of the festivals because any time there's an event in town, i am scheduled to work. i work at a downtown restaurant and it's just insane in there. right now, in winter, i am lucky to make 40.00 on a lunch shift. nights range from 50-80.00, exactly 1/2 of my summer income. and my husband is a painter in the summer and he's struggling to find a job this winter. i wish it wasn't so seasonal, but it really is pretty here in summer, and if you have free time and extra money, it's the place to be.
