Janvrin's Fest began in 1989 as a one day festival beginning with a parade with local floats and costumes. The day continued with booths, scavenger hunt and kids games.

Things grew in 1990, a festival committee was formed and began work in February to plan and organize for August. They extended the festival to two days and had a pancake breakfast and events on the island below the community center like rowboat races and log sawing contests. The weekend ended with a roast beef supper sponsored by Club 55.

Every year expanded and improved on the weekend. The basic structure was kept but a few things were added or dropped. Attendance increased every year.

2009 will be our 20th Anniversary and we are making some big changes, we are trying a new time (early July) and are restructuring the events to better meet the needs of volunteers and participants. Many people plan their vacation to "come home" to Janvrin's Island, hope you plan to join us.  For more information, call Ross at 226-1761 or email info@janvrinsisland.ca
