Founders Fest is more than a festival—it's a celebration of craft beer, live music, and community rooted in Grand Rapids. Traditionally held near the Founders Brewing taproom at 235 Grandville Ave. SW, this event has drawn 6,000+ attendees in past years and typically features two stages, local vendors, and a vibrant blend of national and regional acts. While 2025 has focused on Harvest Weekend taproom events, Founders Fest remains a meaningful part of the city’s music and beer culture. Secure your seats and plan your visit with ease, as weathered weatherproofed venues and street closures help create a festival atmosphere you won’t forget.
