Festivals & Events

You’ll find events throughout the year in each Trail Town, but from spring to fall, things really come alive. The Trail Towns know how to come out of hibernation in a big way! Seasonal festivals, foodie feasts, music under open skies, and events that honour the best of the arts—these are the moments that spark new memories and connections. Whether you’re into literature, local beer, classic cars, or even dragons and fairies, there’s a celebration waiting for you. And just when you think the season’s winding down, the fall fairs roll in—like the Lindsay Ex and the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair—to send it off in style.
