I didn't know what to expect, as I was offered free tickets by my girlfriend who needed to scope the venue out for her company, as they may want to use it for their own festival.
Grand Mint? As I approached the park area I saw a scattering of tents and stage set-ups. Was this going to be a festival promoting mint flavored products? I expected tea, candies, scented candles, and air-fresheners. Why was there a stage? Were they going to have groups come out and sing and dance about mint?
As it turns out, the festival is a mini-Woodstock rock festival, showcasing all sorts of music. (I think it's sponsored by the paper company "Mint Paper") I found the bands to be pretty entertaining, and was surprised at the large, yet young crowd. The event wasn't very foreigner friendly - probably because the groups were not very popular and didn't sing in English.
SOUP Loving Forest Garden -- weird name for a staging area. (SOUP is a company name)
The food was good though - albeit expensive. There was also a lot of alcohol served - good for the crowd. -- I didn't see any mint juleps though....
Surprisingly delicious for Korean Tacos...
Who drinks nachos and/or art?
Overall it was a nice little festival with many vendors and I got a lot of free stuff - bags, buttons, coupons, trinkets, and too many flyers.
