The Annual Junction Creek Festival & Trout Release will be held on Saturday May 10th, 2025 from 12-3pm at Twin Forks park. This special community event brings us together to celebrate the revival of Junction Creek, local wildlife, and the dedicated stewards who help protect them.
Contribute with a pay-what-you-can donation to take part in releasing brook trout and an afternoon of fun outdoors! The event will feature a variety of activities for families of all ages, including live reptiles from Science North, aquatic bugs from the stream, games, and more. Explore community booths, cool off with ice-pops from Papaya Pops, and grab a bite from the BBQ with drinks available for purchase (cash only)! Don’t forget to bring your reusable water bottle to help reduce waste.
