Farmer’s Song Fest - Ellston

Farmer Song Fest is a musical celebration embarking upon its 6th year. Farmer Song Fest has hosted bands including: The Greencards, The Spring Standards, Trampled By Turtles, Ari Hest, The Mayflies, Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart, The Grand Marquis, The Giving Tree Band, Blue Cut, Caroline and the Goodnight Sleeps, and Pumptown. The festival is a community event that promotes new music and supports fundraisers for local groups.

Farmer Song Fest has diversified to kick each year’s music festival off with the 5K Fun Run, Running of the Trees. This one-of-a-kind event will take runners on a cross-country tour across Hynek Tree Farm, traversing through the heart of their lush-green deciduous tree nursery and around 5 different ponds as they skirt fields of soy beans, dirt roads, puddles, woods, and ditches.
