Smiling Acres Music Festival

Located on 40 acres of incredible ground under Michigan’s wide-open skies, Smiling Acres Music Festival is three days of music, food, art, camping, and community. People from all over come out to Smiling Acres in Trufant every year to hear a spectacular lineup of musicians – but the music is only the beginning!

In addition to dozens of incredible bands from across the country and near to home, there’s also yoga, food vendors, workshops, and artists of all kinds. Plus an open mic, so you can do some performance of your own! We’ve even got a misting station to keep you cool while you dance the days and nights away.

Thinking of planning your own event? Smiling Acres grounds are available to rent! We can offer services ranging from just basic grounds rental to handling a majority of the logistical details. Contact us today!
