Nazareth 2026 Updates

PLEASE TAKE OUR SURVEY WE NEED YOUR INPUT

The "Martinfest" 2026 Planning Committee has been working to get all the necessary pieces in place for us to enjoy this year's event Thursday through Monday July 23 -27.

 Hope you can make it for the whole extended weekend this year.  If you weren’t able to make it last year, we are staying once again at the Holiday Inn Express in Easton where we have the run of the place similar to what we had at the Comfy years ago.   The hotel is spectacular and the staff are friendly and very helpful.  The hotel will sell out on Friday and Saturday this year, and we hope you’re able to spend more time and arrive on Thursday and stay over until Monday.  The prices stayed the same, so make your reservations soon.  TO MAKE RESERVATIONS EASILY USE THE LINK FOUND HERE .

By now, everyone knows we formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit called Guitars & Friends, Inc., so we could obtain insurance, pay for this website, rent the hotel banquet facilities to use as our jam space, and rent the pavilion at Nazareth Boro Park.  We underestimated some expenses last year, but were lucky to have donations and income from the auctions to make us whole.  We estimate that our expenses for this year’s event will total about $6000, so the registration fees of $75 for Individuals and $100 for Families will remain the same.  

Thanks to all those who made tax exempt donations last year.  They helped make 2025 a success, and this year possible!

Sincerely

The Planning Committee
