It is with great regret that the Buckhorn Community Centre Board of  Directors announces that after 16 years Fiesta Buckhorn has been cancelled. This decision was made due to the enforcement of the Liquor License Act regulations pertaining to not-for-profit fundraisers held under a Special Occasion Permit or an existing Liquor License. We will continue to monitor the rules and regulations of the Liquor License Act and should updates be made to it that allow us to return to the original 16 year old format we may revisit this situation. We thank all our exhibitors, volunteers and visitors to Fiesta Buckhorn for your support and attendance over the 16 years.
