Farmington Area
Founders Festival 2006
July 19-23
In mid-July, the Farmington Area Founders Festival draws thousands of
families to Downtown Farmington. This year, the Farmington
Farmers & Artisans Market will be open on Saturday, July 22 and
Sunday, July 23.
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 five-day event is the Founders Festival
parade. The parade begins Saturday morning at Power Road and Grand
River Avenue, winding up at
the intersection of Grand River Avenue and Farmington Road. The Founders
Café serves as “reunion central,” as people gather to catch up and enjoy
live music every night – while enjoying Ox Roast sandwiches made with
200 pounds of prime aged beef, plain or barbecued.
Historical tours, artwork, the Chamber raffle and special movies at
the Civic Theater are just some of the many wonderful features that keep
people coming back year after year.
