Excited to see Shuttlefest II. Do we know of any astronauts that will be attending the event? Thank you.

According to the museum, this year's event does not feature astronauts.
Panel: The Shuttle's 30-year Legacy
Scheduled to take part are former CNN television space reporter John Zarrella, NASA chief educator Nick Thomas, and contracted space photographer Tom Usciak. They will give their unique perspectives on the Shuttle Era that changed our world in the 21st Century.
Screening of the documentary "Base to Space"
The documentary "Base to Space" will be shown, followed by the principals involved in its development sharing their experience and a Q & A session. "The Base to Space" is the 5th documentary from the film making team of producer Mike Cotton and director Dave Barnes, surpassing 100 film projects by them during the past 15 years. Tony Pasko provides original music for this historical look at an important piece of NASA's hardware to launch humans to space.
Panel: "Space Art: The Past Reflects the Future"
This panel will include three established space artists: Chris Calle, Doug Forest and Ron Woods. They will relate how all mediums of art have inspired space exploration, with historical art pieces helping create futuristic concepts that become reality.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the event. However, I found this presentation on YouTube from the event.
Incidentally, the American Space Museum's YouTube channel has a treasure trove of great material, including extended interviews with space program workers. Well worth checking out, and if you are in Titusville then the American Space Museum is an absolute must to visit, along with the Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum (located on the southern end of Cape Canaveral Space Force Station).
