Festival Purpose:
The Farmington Area Founders Festival is a community celebration where local businesses, community organizations and artisans promote their goods, services, and efforts to festival attendees. This event highlights the sense of unity, pride and tradition within the Farmington and Farmington Hills area. |
|
In mid-July, the Farmington Area Founders Festival draws thousands of families to Downtown Farmington, Michigan.
Established to celebrate Farmington's recognition as the state's first Quaker settlement, Founders Festival continues to represent the rich cultural heritage of Farmington and Farmington Hills.
Crafters from around the country display their artwork and wares for sale and vendors offer a wide variety of food and snacks. Children's activities abound, and Farmington rocks around the clock with musical acts and specialty entertainment for all ages.
A highlight of the four-day event, the Founders Festival Parade begins Saturday morning at Mooney Street and winds up at the intersection of Grand River Avenue and Liberty Street. Walker's Tavern serves as reunion central, as people gather to catch up and enjoy live music every night.
Historical tours, artwork and the Farmington/Farmington Hills Chamber of Commerce raffle are just some of the many wonderful features that keep people coming back year after year.
