Flat Rock Riverfest 2021 CANCELLED

September 5, 2021 By Joe Pagano

Due to the current State of Emergency in Flat Rock relating to the recent chemical spill, as well as the urgent need to focus community resources on the developing situation, we have made the decision to cancel this year’s Riverfest.

We are deeply disappointed to cancel the festival but it is the best decision for all involved. We would to thank all of our Sponsors, Vendors, Committee Members, and Volunteers for the hard work that went into planning. Thank you very much for your understanding and continued support of Riverfest. Stay tuned in coming months for information on 2022 events. Stay safe!

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
