Fall has arrived, and it's time to celebrate the season at Ontario's Legislative Building. Join us on Saturday, October 18, as Queen’s Park comes alive with the sights and sounds of autumn during our free, family-friendly Fall Festival. From 11 a.m. to 5p.m., visitors of all ages can enjoy live performances, tours, crafts, activities, and more.
Experience the magic of fall at the Parliamentary Pumpkin Patch, where the first 500 visitors to tour the historic Legislative Building will receive a ticket to take home a free mini pumpkin. Then make your way through the inflatable corn maze before capturing the moment at one of many fall-themed photo spots. Inside, try hands-on crafts and activities designed for all ages.
Enjoy live music, line dancing, circus acts, and roaming entertainers throughout the day, or take a self-guided tour of the Legislative Building to explore its history. When it’s time for a break, stop by the Quorum Café for food and refreshments (available for purchase).
With activities, performances, and photo-worthy fun at every turn, the Fall Festival at Queen’s Park is an autumn celebration you won’t want to miss.
