Flinton Festival To Celebrate Community
The Flinton Rec Club is inviting everyone to join them for a day of family fun as they celebrate both the Village of Flinton and the 50th Anniversary of the Flinton Rec Club at the Flinton Festival on Saturday, August 1, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Flinton Recreation Centre, 72 Edward Street, Flinton.
The festival is a free community event that promises something for all ages. Visitors can enjoy live music by Little Peter & the Elegants, horse-drawn wagon rides through the village, interactive animal encounters with Zoo To You, exciting demonstrations by The Eyrie Birds of Prey, balloon twisting by County Balloons, local vendors, community displays, demonstrations, a BBQ, food vendors, and a licensed beer tent.
This special celebration marks an important milestone for the Flinton Rec Club, which has been serving the community for 50 years. The idea for the Flinton Festival was brought forward by Festival Organizer Maude Formosa-Topping at the Rec Club’s September 2025 monthly meeting, with planning beginning shortly afterwards. Since then, the Flinton Festival Committee has dedicated countless hours of planning, organizing, and preparation to create an event that celebrates not only the Rec Club’s 50th Anniversary but also the spirit, history, and people of the Village of Flinton.
Maude Formosa-Topping says, "We wanted to create something special to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Flinton Rec Club, but also recognize and celebrate the wonderful community of Flinton. A lot of time, energy, and teamwork has gone into bringing this event together, and we hope everyone from Flinton and the surrounding areas will come out to enjoy the day, reconnect with neighbours, and celebrate the community spirit that makes Flinton such a special place."
The Flinton Festival is a chance for residents, former residents, and visitors to come together and enjoy an afternoon filled with entertainment, activities, and community spirit. Whether you have called Flinton home for many years or are visiting the area for the first time, everyone is welcome.
Bring your family, friends, and lawn chairs, sit back, enjoy the live music and activities, and experience the warm community spirit that makes Flinton such a wonderful place to live.
Admission is free, with food and beverages available for purchase.
Come celebrate 50 years of community, friendship, and volunteer spirit at the Flinton Festival—it's a day you won't want to miss!
