Community Event

Freedom Fest 2023 is This Saturday!

We’ve been busy sharing all the details of the events happening this Saturday, June 24th… but one final invitation is always a good thing, right?!?

Since it began, Freedom Fest has always been a free community festival coordinated by local organizations and volunteers to celebrate our community and those that live, work and play here. The event showcases the best things in Pine City – our volunteer spirit and generous community!
