On pause for 2025
A note from the Thornapple Arts Council:
“We’ve loved the first two years of The Fair Ground Festival — the music, the mission, the committee, and the community. In 2025, we’re taking some time off to regroup.
“This is not a sad update. We have had two successful years of Fair Ground but want to make sure we’re financially sustainable in ALL our programming going forward. 2024 was a year of strategic planning for us. 2025 is about implementing that planning with a clear direction for the future.
“We look forward to seeing you in 2026 for the return of the Fair Ground Festival!”
