- Dancing Down Main Street, SUNDAY 12:30PM - 1:00PM
It has been talked about from Vancouver to Toronto and we started it in the heart of Canada. Dancing Down Main Street is exactly what it sounds like. Absolutely no experience necessary and pet friendly (if your pets like to dance.) This year, we are dancing to on original song "SUMMERTIME " by Flin Flon's very own Evan Zach. Choreographer Casey Ranks will lead with a short 15 minute lesson, but we also encourage a little freestyle if your feet so desire.
- The Wild Things Outdoor Village, SATURDAY 10:00AM - 4:00PM
Wonder where the wild things are out in Flin Flon? Find them all in one place at the outdoor village in Creekside Park! This market is a one-stop wonder of art, hand-crafted demonstrations, local tastes and boogey-down beats. - Pictures at an Exhibition SUNDAY 2:00PM - 3:00PM
A Flin Flon Culture Days favourite! Accomplished and acclaimed local artists, musician and improvisational expert, Mark Kolt, will musically interpret the visual art and current exhibition at the NorVA Centre. You've never heard art sound so sweet.
