From the "it will be here sooner than you think!" department... flip your calendar over to August, block out August 21-24, and come to the Midland Folk Music Festival, to be held at the Midland County Fairgrounds, 6905 Eastman Ave. in ... uh, ... Midland, MI!

You can even come Monday, August 18th after 8am and get your RV hooked up. After years of asking campers to not come until Monday morning (after the county fair), the Fairgrounds has implemented a $100 charge (payable to the Fairgrounds) for coming early on Sunday and disturbing the County Fair people who need to pack up and leave.

Admission ribbons for the whole week (what a bargain!) are available for $20 to all who are NOT YET members of the Folk Music Society of Midland, and for $10 to FMSM members. There is a GREAT NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS, especially in the areas of the admissions tent, the information table in the Fair Center (Gerstacker Building), and the stage set-up and tear-down.  

There will be workshops for all sorts of genres, instruments, and experience levels on Friday from 9am-5pm and Saturday from 9am-5pm. If you wish to present a workshop, please contact Ruth at [email protected] for directions.

In the Fair Center, there will be workshops during the day on Friday and Saturday, a sing-along on Thursday evening, traditional dancing on Friday evening, and a tremendous stage show on Saturday evening, as well as a gospel sing-along on Sunday morning.

Date: August 21-24, 2025

Location: Midland County Fairgrounds, 6905 Eastman Avenue, Midland, MI 48642
