Kawartha Arts Festival
After a two-year pandemic hiatus, “Art in the Country” returns to the Fenelon Fairgrounds Labour Day weekend with the 31st Kawartha Arts Festival.
The two-day event, which attracts thousands of art lovers, will feature 100+ returning and new artists in an array of media – painting, sculpture, metal art, jewellery, pottery, ceramics, fibre & textiles and so much more. You will find fine art, functional art, the serious, and the whimsical. 
The Kawartha Arts Festival is the largest juried art festival in central Ontario and attracts artists from across the province. The Young at Art exhibit provides a valuable opportunity for 18-and-under artists to showcase and sell their work, and benefit from the mentorship of their adult counterparts while they experience the Festival atmosphere.
Artists can be found in the Fenelon Ag Building, in one of two large marquees, and outside in rows of pop-up tents. Some artists offer demonstrations of their work, and all are eager to talk about their particular artistic offerings.
The centre court offers seating space for patrons to grab a bite at the Fenelon Ag food booth, sit down and enjoy live music by North Country Express. 
Admission and parking are free, as is the shuttle which runs regularly between the fairgrounds and downtown Fenelon Falls all weekend, making it convenient for those coming by boat or who prefer to leave the car in one of the municipal parking lots. Donations are accepted at the entrance to the Festival, in exchange for a chance to win one of the hourly draws.
Make KAF 2022 your Labour Day weekend destination: September 3, 10 am – 5 pm, September 4, 10 am – 4pm at the Fenelon Fairgrounds, 27 Veterans Way, Fenelon Falls.
