Herbfest

Herbfest has been an Ottawa Valley tradition for fifteen years, and is a must-attend event for those interested in herbs, gardening, cooking and living a healthy lifestyle.

Come join us Sunday, July 24, 2011

There are a wide variety of activities to get involved in. There’s something for every member of the family to enjoy. Herbfest is held every year on the grounds of the popular Herb Garden and is organized through the tireless efforts of the volunteer members of the Ottawa Valley Herb Association.

The main highlight of Herbfest for many is the amazing range of vendors that participate every year. Many have been coming for ten years or more, but many talented new vendors are added each year. Last year there were some 90 vendors representing a vast array of products and services. Most vendors are from the Ottawa Valley, but some come from the far reaches of Ontario and Québec.

Every year there are also a wide variety of culinary treats to savour in the Herbfest food court. Come early and enjoy breakfast, with a cup of locally roasted fair-trade coffee. For lunch you can choose from a variety of wholesome choices including some ethnic favourites. Later in the day slow down the pace in the beer garden. There’s truly something for everyone!

Throughout the day there are lots of activities to enjoy including live music, dance and demonstrations galore. The chef’s cook-off and garden tours are also popular every year. For a schedule of the day’s events click here.

There’s a full day of activities available so come early and stay late. There are lots of places to explore and get away from the crowds including a breast feeding station. Washroom facilities and lots of low-cost parking are available on site.
