Farmfest

Early Aug - Downtown Johannesburg

Farmfest is a relaxed and intimate music festival the second full weekend of August, in the beautiful Michigan north woods, the highlight of August for Michigan Folk Aficionados. The Farmfest main stage sits at the bottom of a visually and acoustically beautiful natural amphitheater. The stage was crafted of recycled wood from the barn that once stood at the top of the hill. The lineup tends to feature some of the best Michigan folk-spirited acts, from traditional folk and bluegrass to modern reggae and folk-flavored rock'n'roll. Come camp on site, or drive out for the day.

The Farm Fest venue is located on a 110 year old 40-acre homestead farm that has been transformed into a beautiful northern Michigan festival sited a short distance east of the small rural town of Johannesburg. It literally sits on the 45th parallel.

The land is mostly wooded with beautiful walking trails that wind through rolling terrain, some cleared & some old growth hardwood. A natural amphitheater serves the main stage & has the best natural sound around! Walk the labyrinth, set up your chairs & blankets or hang a hammock from the trees. Whatever you choose, get ready for some down-home, talented artists! The main stage music starts on Friday evening at 5:00 pm & ends on Sunday night at 11:00 pm. Arts & crafts vendors border the amphitheater & are peppered throughout a grove of blue spruce pines. You'll find plenty goodies you will want to take home with you! You will also find some happy, friendly folks...our vendors are pretty special!
