Now, you may be wondering... what’s happening from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM?

We’re keeping that one tucked under the festival hat for just a little longer. Stay tuned. That announcement is coming soon, but I will tell you that it is something totally new to the festival.

05/04/2026

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps, but not for much longer.

The Friendliest City Fest music lineup is about to drop, and it’s stacked from start to finish. Think soulful Motown hits that don’t age, golden oldies that still know every word, country and southern rock from the 80’s to now, and a blend of nostalgic sounds with modern favorites woven into something a little different.

Three live performances throughout the day. Three distinct vibes. One stage that won’t sit quiet for long.

If you like music that pulls you in instead of blending into the background, you’re going to want to be there for this.

Lineup announcement coming soon.

Are you thinking about becoming a sponsor for the Friendliest City Fest?

This isn’t just another event. It’s a high-traffic, high-visibility opportunity to put your business directly in front of hundreds of families, shoppers, and visitors from across the area. From the moment the festival starts, your name has the chance to be seen, recognized, and remembered by the very people you want walking through your doors.

When you sponsor the Friendliest City Fest, you’re doing two powerful things at once. You’re investing in your business through meaningful local exposure, and you’re showing the community that you’re proud to be part of what makes this area special. People notice who shows up. They support the businesses that support their town.

Sponsorship opportunities are designed to give you real value. Depending on your level, your business can be featured on event signage, promotional materials, and across social media leading up to and during the festival. This is the kind of visibility that builds familiarity and trust long after the event is over.

If you’ve been looking for a way to grow your reach, strengthen your local presence, and be part of something people genuinely enjoy, this is it.

Fill out your sponsorship form and return it to City Hall to secure your spot. Deadline is Oct 17th.

Be seen. Be remembered. Be part of what everyone’s talking about.

Luverne’s 5th Annual Friendliest City Fest is coming November 7th from 9AM–2PM, and we’re looking for local businesses who want real visibility, not just a logo lost in the shuffle.

When you sponsor the festival, your business isn’t tucked away, it’s front and center. Sponsor perks include your business name printed on the back of event shirts, featured on event banners, and announced from the stage throughout the day. That means people see your name, hear your name, and remember your name.

This event brings in a strong crowd for arts, crafts, music, and family-friendly fun, and it’s a great way to show your support for the community while getting your business in front of the right audience.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, this is the one to jump into.
