ENID, OK - The 22nd annual A Fling at the Springs music festival will be held Saturday, September 27, 2025, beginning at 2:00 p.m. and running throughout the afternoon and night. It will be at Government Springs Park in Enid, Oklahoma. The family-friendly music festival is free and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and to be prepared for cooler weather when the sun goes down.
"We have full bands all day and we're doing something we've never done before. We have the same headliner this year that we had last year - Kin Faux. They're such a fun, high energy band and everyone loved them so we asked them back," said Tammy Wilson, one of the festival coordinators.
The lineup for this year's festival is: Dually Noted, Van Damage, The Peachtrees, Gus Burns & The Saddle Tramps, Jake Taylor, and Kin Faux.
"This is the 22nd year for the festival and it's done completely from donations and sponsorships so we are truly grateful to the community members that contribute so we can keep doing this every year. Our board is made up of volunteers and we do this because it's important to us to bring attention to live music and hopefully introduce new music to the community," said Michael Dotson, another festival coordinator.
Each year the Fling board awards The David McCoy Memorial Scholarship to a local student for music lessons or to go toward their college tuition if they are a performing arts student. Students interested in applying for scholarship funds can contact Wilson at info@enidevents.com for more information.
A Fling at the Springs was created by Enid musician Sylvan Reynolds in 2003 to raise money to fix the fountains at the Government Springs lake and it evolved into an annual festival. In 2010 Wilson joined Reynolds to help with the planning and he later retired from the project, leaving it to Wilson and Dotson. A Fling at the Springs was then turned into a non-profit organization and the board now consists of Dotson, Wilson, Shawn Mahaffey, Travis Layton, and Larry Lewis. Their mission is to support and encourage live music and the arts in Enid.
