“Are you going to Grove?” is the welcome question GLF founder Jana Jae hears musician friends ask one another all over the country. “These festivals put Grove on the map with people planning each year to come to our beautiful area for a reunion of sorts with festival-goers and music lovers. We feel a mission to carry on because of all the positive response over the years. I love hearing folks talk about the festivals when I’m on the road–we have a great reputation out there! We need community help and support this year especially. We couldn’t do this without the wonderful people of Grove, the sponsors and the great folks who volunteer to make this happen!”
