Kempenfest 2026

July 31 – August 3, 2026

Celebrating 53 Years of Kempenfest

In 1971 a handful of artists gathered in Barrie at the Formosa Springs Brewery to display their art on snow fencing and hopefully sell a few pieces. It was the birth of what would eventually be called Kempenfest. Fast forward 53 years and Kempenfest is now one of the largest outdoor arts, crafts, and music festivals in Ontario, and is recognized with Festivals & Events Ontario’s Top 100.
