For 2025, Kindlefest continues its more traditional format. Artisan vendors will be back selling their holiday wares. There will also be traditional food and hot mulled wine outdoors.
2025 details are still sparse. As of August 4, only Kerrytown has confirmed the date for 2025. But, I feelconfident there will be events throughout Ann Arbor.
