Founders Festival

There's something special about a hometown tradition that brings generations together.

Every July, Downtown Farmington transforms into a place where neighbors reconnect, families make new memories, and visitors discover what makes our community such a wonderful place to call home. The Farmington Founders Festival has become one of those traditions, a weekend that celebrates not just our city's history, but the people who continue to shape it every day. This year's festival takes place July 17-19 and promises another weekend full of community spirit, live entertainment, local shopping, and family fun.

Whether your perfect summer day includes browsing handcrafted goods from local artisans, cheering on the Founders Festival Parade, enjoying live music in the beer tent, or watching your kids race through a foam party, there's something for everyone. Dog lovers can spend time at the ever-popular Fido Fest, while food trucks, the Crafters Marketplace, and the Kids Zone round out a weekend that truly captures the best of summer in our community. And if you're visiting on Saturday morning, don't forget to stop by the Farmington Farmers Market while you're downtown. It makes the perfect addition to an already memorable weekend.

At Wright Beamer, we're proud to be part of a community that values connection. Events like the Founders Festival remind us that some of life's best moments happen when we slow down, gather with friends and neighbors, and support the local businesses and organizations that make Farmington unique. We hope to see you there!
