A Growing Tradition

The first event drew an estimated 1,700 attendees. Though the pandemic halted plans to expand, SpringsFest returned in full force in 2023, with attendance topping 10,000. In 2024, the event introduced the town’s first temporary social district, allowing attendees to enjoy beer from local breweries while exploring the festival.
