Family Fest 2026 Brings a Full Day of Connection, Creativity, Outdoor Fun, and Community to Local Families. A relaxed, family-focused community event featuring wellness experiences, creative activities, outdoor play, food, entertainment, and a few local surprises still to be announced. Family Fest 2026 is bringing families together for a full day of connection, creativity, movement, outdoor fun, and community-centered experiences designed for all ages. This year’s event will feature a family-friendly format with activities throughout the day, including community yoga, creative arts experiences, field games, lake activities, fishing, food, a community cookout, evening gathering, s’mores, entertainment, and an outdoor movie option for overnight guests. Family Fest was created to give families a space to slow down, play together, connect with one another, and enjoy a full day outdoors without the pressure of an overpacked schedule. Our goal is simple, we want families to have a place where they can breathe, laugh, create memories, and feel connected to their community. Family Fest is about bringing people together in a way that feels fun, welcoming, and meaningful. Guests can expect a relaxed event flow with a mix of wellness, creativity, outdoor exploration, and family fun.
