CresFoto is our way of capturing the full CresFest experience through your eyes! Each year some of the most magical festival moments—especially those happening in the free program, on the streets, and in cafes—have gone undocumented. Note, as we have professionals roving the venues, we are NOT looking for artists on stage – we want your take on what makes our event special.
