Always the Weekend after Thanksgiving! October 17 – 19, 2025

Since 1984, a dedicated group of volunteers has ensured The Bala Cranberry Festival is an event that can’t be missed. Named one of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals and one of the World’s 15 most delectable Harvest Festivals, exceptional shopping, exciting entertainment and culinary delights come together for one of the province’s most popular fall festivals.

The Bala Cranberry Festival is many, many things, but most of all it’s a FUN-FILLED weekend for everyone!

  • One of Ontario’s premier arts and crafts shows with hundreds of exceptional vendors
  • An entertaining festival with a fall fair atmosphere. Live music, entertainers/performers and attractions all weekend long!
  • Great for adults! Couples, families and friends will love the variety of vendors, live entertainment and great food.
  • A family friendly event with kids’ entertainment, kids’ activities, attractions and more.
  • A celebration of our beloved cranberry! A visit to Johnston’s Cranberry Marsh and Muskoka Lakes Winery should definitely be a part of your festival experience. You will need to book your own passes in advance to partake in events at the marsh.
