The countdown is on!
Join us for NTF 2024, April 24th through 28th!
The National Trout Festival® consists of events, activities, and parades that take place mainly at the Kalkaska County Fairgrounds and downtown at Railroad Square in the 300 block of Cedar St. We welcome several community groups as partners that offer a variety of events during the five-day festival. You will find info in our schedule and more details on this website.
Welcome to the 87th National Trout Festival® We need some helping hands in a variety of ways to ensure this year's Festival is successful. We appreciate you taking time to consider being a pair of those helping hands. Click on the blue VOLUNTEER box to see what opportunities are available.
Congratulations to KHS Student Emily Willis for having her artwork chosen as the 2024 National Trout Festival® logo!
Emily's design will be featured on this year's tee shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, and festival pins, all available at the Trout House in April. She will receive NTF Swag along with a $100 cash prize!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent and being so easy to work with, Emily!
Sponsorships are an integral part of our Festival's success. We are very lucky to have many businesses in our community willing to support this endeavor. Our gratitude goes out to each and everyone of them. If you have an opportunity to show your appreciation to this year's NTF sponsors, please do so.

The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations. Don’t miss out!
