But it’s not just about the food! SAVOR Festival will also feature a variety of artistic and musical activities, including performances by songwriters, magicians, painters, and DJs, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere throughout the gardens.

Pure Prairie League isn’t just another legacy act rolling through town...these guys earned their place in American music. “Aime” became their breakthrough, climbing into the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 and staying there long enough to turn the band into one of the defining country-rock groups of the ’70s. "Let Me Love You Tonight" was a massive hit as well. And they’re one of the rare bands from that era whose songs still pop up across classic radio, film soundtracks, and even modern playlists because the harmonies just never aged.
They also helped launch some serious talent. Vince Gill...yes, that Vince Gill, got his first national spotlight as their lead singer. The band’s mix of rock, bluegrass, and smooth country harmonies made them a bridge between traditional country and the rise of the “soft rock” sound that dominated the charts.
If you grew up on AM radio or long highway drives through the desert, you know exactly why they mattered. Their records charted, their songs stuck, and their sound became part of the fabric of American radio.
