Here’s Why Tourists Flock To Our Region Every Year

Several festivals and events make Top 100 List

Several local festivals and events have made it to this year’s Top 100 list from Festivals and Events Ontario. The Top 100 recipients represent festivals and events that excel within the industry. Included in the Top 100 are the Festivals & Events of Distinction, a select group which represent some of the most well-known and respected celebrations in the province; celebrations which draw both an international and domestic audience.

Submissions from FEO members were received for consideration in the fall of 2017 and were judged by an independent panel of judges.
