DeFuniak Springs LakeFest

Celebrate LakeFest in downtown DeFuniak Springs Friday, May 9th and Saturday, May 10, 2025. This annual event is loaded with activities the whole family will love on the water and banks of beautiful Lake DeFuniak, one of the world’s rare, naturally round spring-fed lakes.

The beloved event is comprised of a fish fry, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, toy duck hunts, hilarious Cardboard Boat Races, and the thrill of watching hydro-flight athletes performing for the crowds.  There will be live entertainment, waterslides, a dunking booth, and many other activities in the Kids Zone, a variety of food and merchandise vendors, educational vendors, and exhibits, and the 2025 LakeFest Car Show "Under the Oaks" sponsored by Krewe de Yak.
