New festival to celebrate lakes

News
The city of Fairmont is launching a new festival that will be centered around the lakes. With the boost of a grant and help from local arts non-profit, Imagine Martin, Lakefest is set for Aug. 10, 2025.
Hannah Neusch, a water resource technician for the city, said that the festival really stems from an $8,000 source water protection grant the city received to use on public education regarding water quality.
The city is using a portion of the grant money to work with businesses on installing unique public art pieces that are representative of the lakes. The first piece, done by Imagine Martin artist Al Hurney, was installed last September on the sidewalk at the end of Downtown Plaza.
