About Membership

Why should you join the Michigan
Festivals & Events Association?

There is a special skill to hosting a party-planning, shopping, decorating, food prep, setting up entertainment-the list is endless! And when the party is a community-sized celebration, you've really got your hands full!

That's where the Michigan Festivals and Events Association comes in. Membership in the MFEA is one of the best investments your festival, event or company can make.

MFEA Membership
saves money
connects you with customers and specialty suppliers
shows you shortcuts and special skills and even publicizes your event
Best of all, the MFEA hosts workshops and an annual convention to educate the celebration planners.

MFEA member organizations come in all sizes, ranging from small, local festivals to large, established statewide events. And they include the companies that provide products-including food service and entertainment-to the festival industry.

MFEA's annual convention brings together hundreds of Michigan's event planners to share information on every aspect of event production through in-depth workshops, roundtable discussions and networking.

The MFEA Marketplace Trade Show, a highlight of the annual convention, is the only Trade Show of its kind devoted to the festival industry. The Trade Show features top-of-the-line festival products and services, including acts and entertainment, banners, bottlers and distributors, fireworks, insurance, midways and carnivals, and more.

Spring and summer seminars (held in various locations around the state) feature top-rated speakers on current topics of interest to the industry.
