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.
The festival will be located along Holland St., Barrie St., Simcoe Rd., and at the Bradford & District Memorial Community Centre. Parking is limited. BWG Transit will be offering a free bus service.
This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors the Government of Ontario, TD Bank, the Curtis Goddard Team, Tim Hortons, Halibut House Bradford, York Energy Centre, Verve Senior Living, Tupling Insurance, Great Gulf, DG Group, Magna International, Pearson & Pearson Surveying LTD and more.
