Today's Hours
Come join us for the third and final day of our annual, Forge Fest to celebrate our third birthday! On Sunday, July 16th, we will have all the family-fun you can handle!
One thing to know about The Forge is that we have something for everyone! On Sunday, July 16th we'll have a foam party, acrobat show, photobooth, pet rescue, therapy ponies, and plenty of hands-on workshops and activities for families of all ages to enjoy. No fest is complete without live music and food trucks either, so be sure to stop by and see which performers and food trucks will be in The Mount Lawn on our final day of Forge Fest!
