Kempenfest

Kempenfest has taken place every August long weekend along the Lake Simcoe waterfront in Barrie, Ontario, since it began in 1971. One of the province's largest arts, crafts, and music festivals, it brings together hundreds of vendors, several live music stages, children's activities, and a wide range of food offerings. Entry to the festival grounds is free, with only the evening mainstage concerts sold as ticketed events.
