===St. Urho's Day===
[[St. Urho's Day]] is the Finnish tradition of celebrating when St. Urho chased the crickets, and other vermin, out of [[Finland]]. Finlayson embraces its Finnish background by celebrating St. Urho's feast day on March 27. The city's fire department, elementary school, and community center are open to the public for a day of basketball, volleyball, fried bread and good friends. The community center hosts a free pancake breakfast while the fire department hosts the fried bread.

===Deer hunting===
During deer season, Finlayson is packed with hunters. The city's land consists of many fields and swamp where deer are common. The Municipal hosts a gun raffle and a meat raffle during these weeks that attract outsiders to join the festivities.
