Ardmore Spring Fest Returning For 2025, Sponsors Invited To Join

ARDMORE, PA — Ardmore Spring Fest is returning in 2025 and local businesses are invited to join the event as sponsors.

This year's Ardmore Spring Fest will be held from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on May 3 in Schauffele Plaza.

Last year's festival took place behind the now-closed John Henry's Pub in Ardmore.

Organizer Brian Cronin told Patch, with this year's event space being larger than last year's, he's looking to bring on more sponsors to help make the second iteration of the festival another success.

"I've already got enough people to do a good festival," he said. "But I want more to make it a great festival. The more, the better!"

Interested sponsors can go online here to sign up to join Ardmore Spring Fest.

Cronin has tapped into his extensive music community connections again to have a musical lineup that will entertain attendees.

Back again is 90s and modern rock cover band Atomic Rock Band and DJ Korvez.

New to this year's lineup is the duo Pep Rally. Emily Roane and Tommy Joyner — a founder of Philadelphia's MilkBoy studio and venues — comprise the group, which Cronin said will be performing covers and original songs.

"They're kind of tongue-in-cheek," Cronin said.

Cronin said he's looking for a few more bands to round out Ardmore Spring Fest's bill, but with his music scene hookups, he's confident the other acts he signs on will be crowd pleasers.

Adult libations will be provided by Ardmore's own McCloskeys tavern and Tired Hands Brewing Company. Attendees 21 and older will be given wristbands so they can quaff beers, cocktails, and more at the festival.

Kids will have activities to keep them busy, as well, Cronin said.

Mac Mart Ardmore is among the food vendors tapped for the event. Cronin is also looking for more food vendors to participate.

Ideally, he said he'd like to keep all vendors, sponsors, and performers local to the Ardmore area.

"Ardmore is near and dear to me," he said. "I love my town."

While the festival is free, Cronin said there will be an option to pay for access to a roped off VIP area.

Attendees will find street parking in the area, as well as parking availability in two lots on Cricket Avenue.
