Backyard Bash 2025 Details

As we prepare for our 31st annual Lamb’s Retreat for Songwriters, the original endeavor and catalyst for Springfed Arts, we invite you to a party. Founded in 1998, Springfed Arts has been a beacon of creativity and inspiration in Michigan, from metro Detroit through Up North, nurturing the craft of writing and performance in prose, song, and spoken word. Through our cornerstone initiatives like the Lamb’s Retreat for Songwriters, Lost Lake Writers Retreat, seasonal writing classes, and the Springfed Writing Contest, we’ve ignited countless creative sparks and witnessed the birth of hundreds of original works.

Backyard Bash: Saturday, September 13, 2025, 6pm-9pm
Food and wine from Zumba Mexican Grille-Catering. Craft beer from Lily’s Seafood. Entertainment from The Morton Brothers. You can win raffle prizes and bid on silent auction items. The proceeds of the benefit go toward building scholarship funds for Springfed Arts’ retreats, writing classes and showcases.
