Yep - Free all day Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 12 noon to 6pm And sounds like you all missed "SoundBites" (lunchtime concerts in the Villa Arcade week of 15 August). If you'd like to organise it, I am sure it could happen every week/fortnight If you go to http://www.iomguitarfest.com/freestage.php you can see who's playing all day Sat/Sunday!
