We had to make the difficult decision to postpone the Hastings Waterfront Festival until 2027.

While we know this news will be disappointing, this pause will give us the opportunity to regroup, welcome new volunteers, and build an even stronger festival for our community.

The Hastings Waterfront Festival has always been powered by volunteers, and we’d love to have you be part of its future.

❤️ Interested in helping bring the festival back in 2027?
Please email [email protected] to be added to the volunteer list.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the festival over the years. We hope that with enough volunteers we can bring back the festival and make the 2027 Hastings Waterfront Festival the best one yet.

Treasure hunters, bargain lovers, and yard sale enthusiasts… mark your calendars!

The Annual Hastings Village Community-Wide Yard Sale is happening on Saturday, July 11, starting at 8:00 AM.

Whether you’re searching for vintage treasures, collectibles, furniture, clothing, toys, books, home décor, or that one unexpected find you didn’t know you needed, this is one of the best days of the year to explore Hastings.

Having a yard sale?
Make sure people can find you! Sign up on the Facebook Event page by commenting with:
• Your address
• A few photos or a description of what you’ll be selling

The more sales that are listed, the more shoppers we’ll attract to Hastings—and the better the day will be for everyone.

Shopping second-hand is a great way to reduce waste, save money, and give great items a second life.

Invite your friends, share the event, and let’s make this year’s Community-Wide Yard Sale the biggest one yet!

❤️ Thank you, Hastings!

Even though Mother Nature called a timeout, our Canada Day celebration still ended with a bang. 🎆

To our incredible sponsors—thank you for believing in our community and helping make Party in the Park possible. Your generosity allowed thousands of people to come together to celebrate Canada Day right here in Hastings.

To our amazing volunteers—thank you for the countless hours you gave before, during, and after the event. From planning and setup to serving food, keeping the grounds clean, helping visitors, and packing everything away (even after the storm!), this celebration simply wouldn’t happen without you.

To everyone who came out to celebrate, thank you for your patience, your smiles, and your community spirit. Even with an unexpected weather interruption, Hastings showed once again what makes this village such a special place.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year.

See you on July 1, 2027! 🇨🇦
