I have been a few times and enjoyed it.  I have always found something that I liked well enough to spend a few bucks.  Very eclectic collection of artist usaully, from painters, photgraphers, arts and crafts, and others.  I got there late one year right after a storm had rolled through and really cut the crowd down, but unfortunately some of the artists had packed it in too.  There is usually some live music and of course all the usual fare available at Chucks with abnormally long wait times.  My advice, as always, is to call ahead a couple of hours and place your order, that way you may only have to wait an hour or so when you get there, but the beer is cold and the site seeing is as good as anyhwere.

As for boat vs. car, that is hard to say. there will be tons of boats there as well as the usual traffic from the rock to the mouth of Blue Creek and you may have to stand off a while to actually get a spot to dock, and then fight idiots that cruise up and try to take open spots before those that have been waiting.  By car you wil most likely have to park a fair distance form the marina but the VFD always has transport up and down the road.  It also generates income for the VFD which I like as opposed to my VFD that goes door to door begging and has had little control over who does the begging in the past.  I was duped by a crack head when I first moved here and have rufsed to give to door knockers ever since.  All VFD's should be as industriuos and sponsor simular events and do less begging IMHO.
