Downtown Chatham Crowfest

“Back for a landmark 5th Anniversary, Crowfest will be taking place between September 16 to the – 20th!”

A celebration of all things ‘crow’ in Chatham-Kent

Crowfest 2026

“Recognized as the Crow Capital of Canada, Chatham is the perfect setting for this one-of-a-kind event.”

Crowfest was born from one of Chatham’s most unique natural phenomena, the incredible fall migration of crows that darken the skyline. What started as a playful nod to the feathered visitors has grown into a beloved celebration that embraces our quirks, our creativity, and our love of a good time.

For 2026, Crowfest will attempt to break multiple world records! We’re aiming to make history and bring a few world titles home to Chatham-Kent!

Join us and help Chatham-Kent make history in the most fun way possible. Your support will fuel the outrageous challenges, interactive attractions, and add surprises around every corner.

Behind the scenes, our passionate volunteer teams bring magic to life by creating an event that has been recognized multiple times as one of Ontario’s top festivals. This is more than a small-town community event; it’s four days of pure entertainment that keep people coming back year after year.
