30th Anniversary Dean Martin Hometown Festival
As I sit quietly reflecting on the 30th Anniversary Dean Martin Hometown Festival, one overwhelming feeling rises above all others — gratitude.
What began 30 years ago as a heartfelt tribute has grown into something far greater than any one person could have imagined. This year reminded us once again that the spirit of Dean Martin is not only remembered through music and memories, but through the people who continue to gather together in celebration, friendship, laughter, and love.
To every venue, sponsor, performer, volunteer, supporter, charity partner, and attendee — thank you. Thank you for believing in the vision, for supporting our mission, and for helping make this year’s festival such a meaningful success. Whether you traveled across town or across the world, your presence helped create moments that will remain in our hearts for years to come.
To our returning venues and our new festival partners who welcomed us with open arms, your hospitality and enthusiasm helped lay the foundation for an even brighter future. The excitement already being shared for 2027 speaks volumes about what was built together this year.
Most importantly, thank you for helping us continue to honor Dean Martin in a way rooted in authenticity, community, and giving back. Through the festival, we were once again able to support causes that truly matter — proving that the legacy of Dean Martin continues to inspire kindness far beyond the stage.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with us, believing in us, and helping carry this beautiful tradition forward.
Until next year…

Your kindness, friendship, and belief in what we do will never be forgotten. From all of us at the Dean Martin Association, thank you, congratulations, and may this next chapter bring you every happiness.
Where or When...
One of the greatest traditions of the Dean Martin Hometown Festival has always been giving back.
Because of the generosity of our sponsors, attendees, volunteers, entertainers, golfers, auction donors, and supporters, the 2026 Dean Martin Hometown Festival was able to make a meaningful difference.
This year, we proudly supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, The Arc of the Mid-Ohio Valley, and Campo Italiano. We also awarded two scholarships in Dean’s name at Steubenville High School and sponsored two Honor Flight Columbus, flags—one honoring Craig and one in memory of Dean Paul.
Thank you for believing in our mission. Every act of support helped ensure that Dean’s legacy continues to reach far beyond the stage.
