Farmington Founders Festival

Farmington Founders Festival – A Tradition Reimagined for 2026 The Farmington Founders Festival is one of the community’s most cherished traditions, bringing residents, families, and visitors together for a weekend full of celebration, entertainment, and hometown pride. Beginning in 1964, the festival has grown into a signature summer gathering that highlights the best of Farmington — its small-town charm, vibrant downtown, and strong community spirit. In 2026, the festival enters an exciting new chapter under the management of JAG Entertainment. While honoring the traditions that families have loved for decades, the festival team is working closely with City officials, downtown businesses, and community organizations to introduce fresh ideas and expanded programming. Guests can expect returning favorites such as the parade, crafters, food trucks, the beer tent, children’s activities, bingo, live music, and the annual run — along with new experiences designed to create an even more engaging, family-friendly atmosphere throughout downtown. The goal of the 2026 Farmington Founders Festival is simple: Celebrate what makes Farmington special while creating meaningful opportunities for connection, enjoyment, and community involvement. Whether you're coming for the food, the music, the shopping, or the shared moments with friends and neighbors, the Farmington Founders Festival is the perfect place to kick off summer in Farmington.
