Family Events North of Toronto for September 28, 29 and 30

This weekend has a long list of kid and family friendly events happening North of Toronto. Fall fairs, Fall and pumpkin and scarecrow festivals are all guarantees for fun, laughter and excitement.

We advise parents to use their own judgement in regards to deciding on age appropriate events. For example - studio tours might be more fun for teenagers or babies asleep in carseats but not toddlers or tweens. Choosing an age appropriate activity for your family is a good start to ensuring a worthwhile experience overall. Below is a range of events and activities that guarantees something for all ages and all interests.
