Noah Kahan Returns to Vermont for Second Folk and Fairways Charity Golf and Concert Weekend
Noah Kahan will bring his Folk and Fairways charity event back to Spruce Peak in Stowe, Vermont, on September 14 and 15, pairing a two-day golf tournament with a solo acoustic performance to raise money for mental-health access (Rolling Stone).
All proceeds benefit the Busyhead Project, the organisation Kahan founded in 2023 to make mental healthcare more accessible and to challenge the stigma around seeking help. He named it after his 2019 debut album Busyhead; his fan base goes by the same nickname (Rolling Stone). The singer, who grew up in Vermont and has spoken openly about his own mental-health struggles since childhood, launched the initiative to channel those experiences into direct support for local communities (noahkahan.com).
Since its founding, the Busyhead Project has raised millions of dollars toward its goal of making mental healthcare available to all, according to Kahan's official website (noahkahan.com).
This is the second edition of Folk and Fairways. The inaugural event ran from September 30 through October 1, 2025, at the same Spruce Peak venue, with the concert held on the final day (MyChamplainValley.com; Instagram). Kahan confirmed the return on August 11, 2026, via Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone).
Tickets are not sold on a first-come, first-served basis. A limited number of general admission and VIP spots will be allocated through a public lottery, with registration open on the Folk and Fairways website, folkandfairways.org, closing August 14 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Winners will be notified starting August 17 at 3 p.m. ET (Rolling Stone).
The announcement lands in the middle of a busy touring year for Kahan. He released his most recent album, The Great Divide, in April 2026, and has North American dates running through August, followed by shows in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and Europe in the autumn (Rolling Stone).
For fans, the lottery system means a short registration window and a wait — but it also keeps the event from turning into a ticket-scalping scramble, and every dollar spent at Spruce Peak goes back into mental-health resources rather than promoter margins.
