Carrot Fest started more than 20 years ago and has been named a Top 100 Festival and Event in Ontario for over a decade. The event celebrates the importance of the Holland Marsh soils, with a focus on the importance of carrots in our local economy. At Carrot Fest, the Holland Marsh Growers’ Association will be handing out free bags of locally grown carrots.

“For over a decade Carrot Fest has been voted as one of the top 100 events in Ontario, and I am so proud to see it continue to leave its mark in BWG. Bring your family and friends along to join us in celebrating our Town’s rich agricultural heritage while immersing yourself in all the family fun that Carrot Fest has to offer.” – Mayor James Leduc

The festival will be located along Holland Street, Barrie Street, Simcoe Road, and at the Bradford & District Memorial Community Centre. Parking is limited. BWG Transit will be offering free bus services.

This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: Experience Simcoe County, Holland Marsh Growers Association, TD Group, Great Gulf, Global Pet Foods and to our presenting sponsors Tim Hortons, Reali's No Frills, Liftow Limited, Tupling Insurance, York Energy Centre, Osborne Goddard Team & Elite Dance Corps for helping make Carrot Fest possible!
