Celebrating Everything Outdoors! | May 1–3

Blain’s Farm & Fleet is bringing neighbors together at all of our store locations for Blain’s Fest 2026—a three-day, in-store event celebrating everything outdoors, with fun, savings, and activities for the whole family.

From spring projects and backyard fun to outdoor hobbies and family activities, Blain’s Fest is a great time to stop in, explore, and enjoy everything the season has to offer—with help from our store teams who are ready to make it a great experience.

It’s also a chance to Be An Original—whether that means tackling a new project, spending time outdoors, or simply enjoying the weekend with family.

Blain’s Fest is built around three simple things—so whether you’re here to shop, play, or spend time with family, there’s something for everyone:

• Deals on the products you need for the season
• Giveaways and sweepstakes with big prizes
• Experiences the whole family can enjoy

You’ll find three days of in-store deals, along with activities throughout the store.

What’s Happening Each Day
Here’s what you can look forward to throughout the weekend:

Friday, May 1: Play & Win
Kick things off with digital carnival-style games available through the Blain’s Rewards app. Scan, play, and win rewards points and prizes while you shop.
