To Our Residents and Neighbors,
It has been 6 months since the last update, and I have a few things to talk about.
In the past 6 months, we have had a lot of stuff going on. The stream restoration has restarted work for the season and hopefully are looking at mid-July on a finish date. Carver Construction has come back and spread some grass seed on some lawns that didn’t take last year. GRANDVIEW IS PAVED!!!! Whoohoo!!! It was only going to be topped, but we decided that it should be milled and paved, which made for a very smooth finish.
We are very excited about some upcoming events. We would like to welcome the Veggie Van back once again this year! We are very excited. See picture on this page for the schedule. We are also thrilled to bring back The Frankfort Farmers Market. It happens Saturdays from 6/27-9/12, 9am-12pm. Tuesdays in July, The Frankfort Free Library will host Scoops, Sounds & Sketches filled with live music, ice cream and art. Events take place 6-8pm right at the library. For all you metal fans out there, Metal at the Marina returns this year on 8/1. Free for all ages. Gates at 12pm, Music at 1pm. Photo included shows lineup. Of course, The Frankfort Harborfest returns for years 6 on September 26th. I plan to write another update as that gets closer.
As always, I want to thank all our village crews at the DPW, Power & Light, Office Staff, and the administration for all the wonderful work that they do.
Finally, today was the last day of school for seniors. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 and good luck in all you do!

To Our Residents and Neighbors,
Welcome to our new website! We plan to be very active here moving forward, so please check back often for updates.
As we look back on the past year, I want to highlight some wonderful achievements. First, thank you for your patience during our construction season. The water main project is complete, with just a few yards scheduled for touch-ups. The bridge is also finished! Despite strict state regulations and simultaneous stream restoration, we completed the project only a week behind schedule. We also paved Main Street, which was desperately needed. For those on Grandview Avenue, please know we haven’t forgotten you—paving is scheduled to resume as soon as spring arrives.
Our community events were spectacular this year. The 5th Annual Frankfort Harborfest was a resounding success, featuring a beautiful new lighthouse constructed by our DPW and Power & Light crews. On 8/24, we welcomed the Flotsam River Circus to the marina. It was incredibly unique and brought out so many of you!! We also launched our First Annual Halloweentown Celebration, and it was a joy to see so many of you there.
While the snow arrived a little early, it set the perfect scene for "Christmas at the Marina." We were thrilled to bring back live reindeer this year! A huge shoutout goes to our crews at the DPW and Power & Light for their hard work on the decorations—especially our master welder, who created this year’s new sleigh centerpiece.
Huge shout-out to Austin Evanchak for another successful Metal At The Marina. This is a great family event that we look forward to having in the village for years to come. We have officially greenlit this for next year so be on the lookout for the date!
We have many more plans in the works for the coming year. Be sure to check out the pictures on this page from all of the events! On behalf of all of us here at the Village of Frankfort, I wish you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season and New Year!
Check back soon for updates!
