The Farmington Branding Alliance (FBA) meets monthly to select Jolt Worthy Events. The FBA consists of local residents, organizations and businesses working together to energize how we live, work, play and stay Farmington. As a group, they have chosen to highlight events that go above and beyond to energize life journeys through exceptional performances and unique opportunities.  Each month, the FBA meets for the Action Team Meeting and votes on the top upcoming events from the Community Calendar.  Members of the FBA will help promote and spread word about these events.  Interested in Jolt Worthy Event endorsement for your event?  Simply supply your event details to the Community Calendar using the online Submit Event Form. You are also invited to attend the monthly Action Team Meeting. Jolt Worthy Events are typically voted on two months in advance (August events will be selected in June).
