Carrot Fest

Carrot Fest returns to Bradford West Gwillimbury! Carrot Fest will take place in downtown Bradford (Holland Street) and at the Bradford & District Memorial Community Centre on August 14th and 15th. The black organic soils of the Holland Marsh make Bradford West Gwillimbury one of Canada’s biggest carrot-producing regions and the ‘Heart of the Vegetable Industry’. Carrot Fest is a free celebration of the region’s agricultural heritage, especially the role of the carrot in the local economy. Carrot Fest is a way to bring the community together to celebrate, encourage participation and generate pride. What started as a merchant-based community event has now developed into a historical event.
