Fall Festival returns to Ontario’s Legislative Building at Queen’s Park with plenty of free family fun on Saturday, October 17.
Celebrate fall on the grounds
Experience the crisp air and beautiful colours on the Legislature's grounds while taking part in a wide variety of family-friendly activities, including the Parliamentary Pumpkin Patch, crafts, inflatables, photo ops, face painting, Zac's Jacks pumpkin carving, fun zones, and lawn games. Stroll through an outdoor market filled with fresh seasonal produce, locally made foods, and handcrafted goods. Then, visit the Almost A Farm Petting Zoo to interact with gentle farm animals and learn about their care in a hands-on environment.
Show time!
Don't miss all the lively entertainment at the Parliamentary Plaza where you can learn and take part in Urban Cowboy Line Dancing, experience Mâmawin'towin: A Métis Kitchen Party with Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk and Amanda Rheaume, be amazed at the talented antics of the Farmer's Daughter Show, or tap your toes to the sounds of Sugar the Band and the Mexican folk dancing group, Tonatiuh Grupo Folklórico.
There's more indoors
The fun continues inside the Legislative Building with more crafts and activities, self-guided building tours, photo ops, and live performances by the West End Riverboat Band and Natasha Meister. Arrive early—the first 500 visitors will receive a ticket to take home a free mini pumpkin from the Parliamentary Pumpkin Patch.
Feeling a little hungry? The Quorum Café will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a delicious assortment of food and refreshments 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.
