The Full Story
The Lowell Charter Township Parks Committee is proud to unveil the inaugural BridgeFest, a momentous event set to debut in the heart of Lowell Charter Township on August 10, 2024. This inaugural celebration promises to be a grand affair, uniting the Lowell community in a day of festivities while supporting local non-profits and organizations.
BridgeFest 2024 will transform our Grand Riverfront Park into a vibrant hub of activity, offering an array
of entertainment, culinary delights, and family-friendly fun. From 10:00 AM to dusk, attendees will be
able to participate in one of many tournaments: pickleball, volleyball, spikeball, cornhole, and disc golf.
For those runners looking for a 5K experience, there will be a 5K run starting at the South Park Pavilion
at 8am. Live music will begin at 10am and will conclude at 5pm. Musicians will be playing an array of
genres from bluegrass to country and American traditional to rock and blues. From noon until 7pm, food trucks will be present in the South Park. Furthermore, Impact Church will open its parking lot for attendees while sponsoring free ice cream at Corner Stop Ice Cream.
As the first annual BridgeFest, this event holds special significance for the Lowell community. Not only
does it mark the beginning of a new tradition, but it also serves as a platform to give back to our
community. Proceeds from BridgeFest will benefit local non-profits and organizations: Primarily, the
Lowell Charter Township Parks Fund, and Lowell-area children’s sports teams.
"We are thrilled to launch the inaugural BridgeFest this August. Bridgefest is an exciting new opportunity for our community to come together in fellowship and fun, through with great food, activities, and music," said Jerry Hale, Lowell Charter Township Supervisor. "We hope that this event will not only be a memorable family experience, but also that it will be fruitful to the conservation of our park and community as a whole. We are honored to support local non-profits that play a vital role in enriching the lives of our residents."
BridgeFest will showcase a diverse range of activities and attractions, including tournaments, food
offerings from local vendors, live entertainment featuring talented local musical artists, and engaging
activities for attendees of all ages. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to explore the rich
history and culture of Lowell by visiting the Betty Yeiter Fur Trade Interpretive Cabin, which will be open and staffed by
members of the Lowell Area Historical Committee.
"We invite the entire community to join us for a day of celebrating our communities and our shared
connection at the inaugural Lowell BridgeFest," added Jerry Hale, Lowell Charter Township Supervisor.
“BridgeFest 2024 is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors, volunteers, and community partners. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have contributed to bringing this vision to life” said Jerry Hale.
