The Festival Babes had an unforgettable time at Fam Fest 2025! Fam Fest is known for being a grassroots festival located in Harmony, Maine. The festival focused on bringing people together through the power of music and uniting the community through a safe and enjoyable experience. From live music, local artists and DJs, to top performances by Josh Teed and Maddy O’Neal, Fam Fest had a little bit of everything for everyone! Craft vendors, delicious local food trucks, and live art installations…we never found ourselves bored on the field. Fam Fest was a perfect way to experience the spirit of Harmony: friendly faces, small-town charm, and unforgettable memories.
Small Town Fest, Big Time Names
Fam Fest struck a perfect balance between spotlighting rising local talent and featuring well-known artists, creating a lineup that was both exciting and deeply rooted in community. Big names like Josh Teed and Maddy O’Neal brought the crowds and delivered unforgettable sets, but it was the smaller, local artists who added a special charm to the weekend. Ternion Sound also brought the energy delivering a killer set on stage, while UK legends Caspa and Rusko left the crowd speechless. Together, the blend of big and small acts showcased Fam Fest’s commitment to both artistic excellence and grassroots creativity.
Fam Fest Art Life
The art installations and live art at Fam Fest transformed the grounds into a colorful, immersive experience that added a creative pulse to the entire weekend. From interactive hanging lizard sculptures and glowing light displays to vibrant murals coming to life before your eyes, the festival showcased the talents of local and regional artists in truly inspiring ways. Live painters worked throughout the event, capturing the music and movement on canvas in real time, creating a visual rhythm that complemented the performances on stage. We specifically loved a few artists including PNLZ and Zach McDonald .Whether you were wandering through the forested paths or relaxing near the main stage, art was everywhere — sparking conversations, inspiring awe, and reminding everyone of the power of creativity to bring people together.
Flow with the Fire Fam
As the sun set, the fire flow performers at Fam Fest took center stage—turning up the heat with jaw-dropping displays of skill and artistry. Dancing with flaming hoops, staffs, poi, and fans, these artists lit up the night with synchronized routines that blended danger, beauty, and rhythm. Each performance was a captivating fusion of movement and flame, drawing crowds into a trance of flickering light and pulsing beats. The crackle of fire, combined with the performers’ fearless grace, added a primal and exhilarating energy to the festival’s late-night vibe. It was more than just entertainment—it was a fiery celebration of creativity and courage that left a lasting impression on everyone.
Saying Goodbye to Fam Fest
The Festival Babes said goodbye to Fam Fest 2025 with full hearts and grateful spirits. From the music and art to the laughter, late-night dancing, and meaningful connections, this year’s festival was nothing short of magical. Every smile, every beat, every shared moment reminded us why this little gathering in Harmony means so much. Though the lights are dimming and the stages are quiet now, the memories will echo until we meet again. Thank you to everyone who made this last one so special—artists, volunteers, performers, and every beautiful soul who showed up with love. Stay inspired, stay connected, and carry the Fam Fest vibe with you. By the Fam, for the Fam. xoxo.
