Festivals & Events
In-person events are back and there's something happening every weekend it seems in BruceGreySimcoe.
Summer events ranging from music to arts and culture, heritage celebrations, nature and community celebrations are happening all over the region this summer - for families, couples, groups of friends and all ages and tastes. There are major music festivals like Boots and Hearts, the Mariposa Folk Festival and Summerfolk, with smaller venues hosting concerts indoors, on patios and community bandshells. Plan ahead and purchase your tickets in advance online and be sure to book your accommodation early, too.
Cruise a weekly farmers' market, Ontario's Best Butter Tart Festival in early June, movies under the stars, cycling events, pipers piping down the sun, car shows, craft shows, and so much more.
Celebrate summer in BruceGreySimcoe!
