From The Accidentals:
“Every year we throw a hometown show at Fountain Point Resort and we bring up bands from all over that we’ve played with and loved and want to introduce to our FAM in NoMI.

This year we moved the FAMgrove Festival to French Valley Vineyard in Cedar. They have a beautiful old barn that has been refurbished and a huge field for a big tent. This years music lineup is bonkers fun.
We’ve got our friends from The Rebel Eves coming up from Nashville, Seattle, and Kzoo! We just played strings on their new song called “Shake The Ground” and we’re excited for y’all to get to know them.
Not sure y’all remember when we took Political Lizard on tour for a summer? We’ll Caleb formed a new group called Low Phase and they just blew up Nashville at the show i went to.
Coming up from Grand Rapids – can’t wait to hear them again.
ONE HOT ROBOT is a total dance party. The lead singer, Mallory Ramage, is next level good. The songs are all favorites and you will be transported back to the best time of your life or just have the best time of your life listening to these guys.
A to Z – These Interlochen Arts singer/songwriters have been playing throughout the region for a couple years and they just keep getting better. We add them to our shows anytime they are free – love Zinnia and Audrey.
Luke Woltanski is also a local favorite, all around great guy. If Elton John and James Taylor had a kid – it would be Luke.

We’ve got incredible food trucks coming
-Rafaels Indigenous Food Truck
-Taqueria Mosqueda Food Truck
-The Leelanau Lemonade Stand (Lemonade and Tea)

Cool art!
Silver, Slag and Stone Jewelry

This is the event of the season!”
