10 Reasons to Love Carrot Fest!

Bradford West Gwillimbury’s annual Carrot Fest is returning to the downtown area and Bradford & District Memorial Community Centre on Friday August 17 and Saturday August 18.

​Here are 10 reasons to love the Canada’s largest Carrot Festival:

1. It supports local businesses and the Bradford West Gwillimbury community.
2. It has been rated among the top 100 events in Ontario for eight years in a row.
3. The festival has grown so much that it is now become a two day event.
4. It has a HUGE vendor market that has hundreds of vendors selling their goods and services.
5. There is plenty of delicious food to eat! Ranging from the local Mexican, Portuguese, Italian and Middle Eastern to Food Trucks and Ice Cream on every corner.
6. There is always something going on whether it be live performances on stage, BMX competitions, Freestyle Soccer, Fire Shows, Wrestling or Dog Docking Competitions.
7. It is easily accessible with shuttles running to and from the festival all day long and a nearby GO station.
8. It’s fun for everyone – featuring beer gardens, kid zones, pony rides, poker tournaments, inflatables, games and contests.
9. There are free carrots for everyone provided by the Holland Marsh Growers' Association! In the middle of the festival there is tractor that is full of bags of fresh, locally grown carrots.
10. And finally, it’s a street party! The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury closes down the two main streets to allow for all of the festivities to go on safely.

Join the fun this summer and come to #CarrotFest2018!
