Community Festival

“It’s that time of year again! The Deer Point Community Festival is back on Sunday,June 28th from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

We are just five days away from the Deer Point Community Festival, and the excitement is building! The forecast is showing some uncertainty, but things are looking more promising by the day, fingers crossed for a beautiful Sunday. And honestly, a little light drizzle never hurt anyone; it keeps things cool out there!”
