The countdown is on! ClaytonFest returns on July 18 from 12–8:30pm, bringing a full day of music, excitement and community pride to the Clayton Community Centre.
This year’s lineup is packed with incredible local talent, including Vicki Brittle, Jamie & Brendan McMunn, Khloe B, Wild Nashville, Joe Ray McDonald, The Young Bucks, and Bowes Brothers —making ClaytonFest one of the area’s most anticipated summer events.
New for 2026 is a shuttle bus from Almonte to Clayton for just $15 per person (return), running three times throughout the day to make getting to the festival easier than ever.
But ClaytonFest is more than great entertainment — it’s a major fundraiser that keeps the volunteer-run Clayton Community Centre thriving. For over 48 years, the Centre has been a hub for celebrations, events, and community life. Thanks to past festival support, the Centre now boasts upgraded WiFi, a new 3-door commercial fridge, and a Public Access Defibrillator. This year’s proceeds will help fuel even more upgrades. With seating for 233, a kitchen, bar and stage, the Centre is also a fantastic rental venue for weddings, parties, and special events.
Save the date and come out for an unforgettable day at ClaytonFest — where great music meets great community spirit! Tickets are $25 (10 and under free) and can be purchased from the Clayton General Store and the Almonte Legion. For more details, please visit claytonontario.ca/claytonfest.
