After a long discussion with our club & those involved in Ramble Jam we have decided to not continue with our festival for 2020. Thank you to all that have supported us through our journey. Please see our press release below.
Farmington Rotary Club announces pause to Ramble Jam Country Music Festival
Ramble Jam Country Music Festival is the annual fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Farmington and is entirely led and supported by sponsors and the efforts of countless volunteers. All proceeds from Ramble Jam support the projects and mission of the Farmington Rotary Club, bringing thousands of people to Farmington each September and providing over $300,000 in donations to local organizations since Ramble Jam began in 2011.
Unfortunately, the reality of the country music festival business is that the cost of talent has skyrocketed and competition for fans has increased to the point where Ramble Jam is no longer sustainable in its current form. It is with heavy hearts that members of Farmington Rotary have decided to pause the event for 2020 and do some thoughtful planning to ensure the future health of the Farmington Rotary Club.
Farmington Rotary would like to take this opportunity to thank its key partners over the years including Houston Productions, Ensemble Creative & Marketing, K102 Radio and DLM Media Solutions, along with hundreds of sponsors and vendors, and especially the thousands of fans who fiercely supported us from the beginning.
News on a future event will be posted to the club’s page and website at www.farmingtonrotarymn.com.
