By supporting local businesses, we help sustain their operations, enabling them to thrive and invest in the community through taxes and sponsorships. Ultimately, supporting local businesses is a powerful way to create a vibrant and resilient community that benefits everyone. With limited resources and competition from larger corporations, it is essential for small businesses to have an effective marketing strategy. One key aspect is understanding their target audience and crafting tailored messages that resonate with them. Utilizing digital platforms, such as social media and email marketing, allows small businesses to reach a wider audience at a lower cost. Building a strong online presence, through a well-designed website and engaging content, helps attract and engage potential customers.

To our Good For The Soll Ingersoll's Music Festival family…
This is one of the hardest messages we’ve had to share.

After months of planning, conversations, and doing everything in our power to make it happen, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel the GOODFORTHESOLL Music Festival for 2026.

This festival has always been more than just a show. It’s been a community. A feeling. A moment where we all stood together under the stars and celebrated love, music, and each other.

But behind the scenes, there are a lot of moving parts that have to come together early…

From securing volunteers for setup, show day, and teardown…
To lock in sound and lighting crews, beer tent teams, rentals, and production…
To ensure sponsorship commitments early enough to access funding and properly plan.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get the level of early commitment needed to move forward in a way that protects everyone involved.
And that matters.

Because if we move too late, people lose real opportunities and real income. Crews, vendors, and partners who rely on these dates deserve certainty, not risk.
We also understand the reality right now…

The economy is tough. Businesses are being careful. And we respect that completely.
To all of our sponsors, past and present — thank you. You helped make the first two years something truly special.

To those who were ready to stand with us again this year — we see you, and we are incredibly grateful.

A special thank you to Brian Petrie for his unwavering support from day one.
We are proud of what we built together in 2024 and 2025. Truly proud.

But for this to return… it needs to come back stronger, more sustainable, and in a format that can grow year after year.

So this isn’t goodbye.
It’s a pause.
A reset.

A chance to rebuild something even better for 2027 and beyond.

In the meantime, support local. Support each other. Lift up the businesses and people that make this town what it is. If we stick together, we’ll get through this and come back louder than ever.

We know this will hit hard for some of you. Maybe even frustrate you. That’s fair.
Just know this decision came after giving it everything we had.

We’re going to miss your ROCKING faces more than you know From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for making the first two years unforgettable.

We’ll see you again… under the stars.

We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring GOODFORTHESOLL 2026 back bigger and better, and our Sponsorship Goal is underway! As you can see from the chart, we’ve made great progress so far… but we still need a few more amazing partners to help us reach the finish line.

First and foremost, we want to give a huge THANK YOU to the sponsors who have already committed. Your support helps make this festival possible and keeps live music thriving in our community. GOODFORTHESOLL truly would not happen without you, and we are incredibly grateful for the support you’ve shown so far. 🙏

Now we’re inviting more local businesses and community partners to step in and help push us across the goal line for 2026.

✅ Right now we are only asking for sponsorship commitments.
💳 Payments are not required until June 2026.

This gives businesses the opportunity to secure their sponsorship early while planning budgets for later in the year.

If you’d like to be part of one of the most exciting community music events in the region, we’d love to have you involved.
