Don't miss the 2026 Flowood Family Festival, May 16th!
The Flowood Family Festival returns to Liberty Park on May 16 and will feature contemporary Christian music artist, Jeremy Camp, as the headliner. Known for his heartfelt lyrics and blend of worship-driven anthems and rock-influenced sound, Camp has inspired audiences around the world for more than two decades with songs like “No Survivors” and “Getting Started.” With over 6.5 million albums sold, 45 No. 1 singles, five GMA Dove Awards, four ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Awards, and a GRAMMY nomination, Camp is one of the most influential voices in contemporary Christian music.
Award-winning Christian band Big Daddy Weave will take the stage ahead of Camp at 5:45 p.m., bringing their signature mix of powerful worship songs and uplifting messages to the festival crowd. With fan-favorite songs like “Redeemed” and “Let It Begin,” the group has become a staple in contemporary Christian music and will be a highlight of the evening’s lineup.
Since 1999, the City of Flowood has hosted the Flowood Family Festival, an outdoor concert that kicks off the summer season with live music, kids’ activities, fair food, fireworks, and more. Free admission is made possible by the City of Flowood with the support of Flowood Parks and Recreation sponsors and Visit Mississippi.
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s festival will also feature a special Flowood flyover and an armed forces recognition to honor those who serve.
The festival will open at 3 p.m. with space jumps and activities for kids, food vendors from local Flowood restaurants, and live music from Light of Mine. A fireworks finale will follow Camp’s performance, which begins at 7:30 p.m.

Where It All Began
When the event first began in 1999, it was called “Flowood Family Picnic” and was held at Winner’s Circle Park. Suzy Bogguss was the first headlining artist for this new event, and artists including Brad Paisley, Steve Azar, and more took to the Winner’s Circle stage in the following years. The Winner’s Circle Park amphitheater was not made to fit 1,000 people, but the event always attracted well over that number.
By 2003, the Flowood Family Picnic grew into the name “Flowood Family Festival,” and by 2008, the event widely outgrew its venue too, resulting in the festival being hosted every year since at Flowood Liberty Park. The new venue was comprised of Flowood’s baseball and soccer fields, a hotspot for sports tournaments year-round, but Liberty Park also proved to be the perfect spot to host thousands of visitors, dozens of local food vendors, countless kid’s activities, and still have room for a large outdoor concert.
The event continues to grow with each year as several thousand visitors travel to Liberty Park each year to listen to their favorite artists under the stars and enjoy the welcoming, small-town feel of Flowood.
