Community Momentum Builds Ahead of Siena Heights University’s Farewell Festival

As Siena Heights University prepares for its Farewell Festival on Sunday, April 26, 2026, momentum continues to grow across campus and throughout the Adrian community. Students, alumni, neighbors, and supporters are planning to gather for what will be the University’s final large-scale campus celebration. 

ADRIAN, MI – As Siena Heights University prepares for its Farewell Festival on Sunday, April 26, 2026, momentum continues to grow across campus and throughout the Adrian community. Students, alumni, neighbors, and supporters are planning to gather for what will be the University’s final large-scale campus celebration. 

Headlined by Flo Rida, the outdoor concert will also feature performances by NOT FAST ENÜFF, Jon Torrence, and the APG Audiovisual Mentoring Student Showcase. In addition to live music, the festival will spotlight a diverse lineup of food vendors — including several alumni-affiliated businesses — further reflecting the lasting connections formed through Siena Heights.

Alumni-affiliated vendors include Absolutely Nutz (cinnamon roasted nuts), Sips & Sweets (gourmet lemonades, limeades, and teas), Poquito Chapulin (Mexican cuisine), and Timber’s Spot (dirty sodas, Red Bull creations, and coffee). Additional participating vendors include Funky Dawgs, Monahans Crispy Cluckin’ Chicken, and Smoky D’z BBQ

As part of the broader community participation surrounding the event, an anonymous donor sponsored 100 “Shared Legacy Passes,” which were claimed by students from Lourdes University. 

“This festival is about honoring the people and experiences that define Siena Heights,” said Wilson, Director of Student Engagement.

“We’re seeing excitement and engagement from across the community, and we look forward to coming together for a meaningful evening.” 

Wilson also noted that with the Faster Horses festival not coming to Michigan International Speedway this summer, this event will stand as one of the biggest concerts of the year for the region. “It makes this an even more exciting opportunity for our community to come together in a big way,” he added.

Tickets remain available to the public at FarewellFestival.com.

As the community comes together to make this the biggest concert event of the year, local businesses and partners are invited to be part of the experience. Interested in becoming a sponsor? New sponsorship opportunities can be found HERE
