Celebrate creativity and community at Artfest, in Esplanade Park! This two-day festival showcases the vibrant work of emerging and local artists, artisans, independent authors, and performers, offering something for everyone.
This year’s festivities are extra special as we celebrate Pickering’s 25th Anniversary with the theme, "25 Years of Creative Roots," a tribute to the city’s rich cultural and artistic heritage. Join us for a weekend of creativity, connection, and celebration!
Non-perishable food and other donations are accepted at the St. Paul's-on-the-Hill Community Food Bank and DARS outreach tents located on Esplanade Park north lawn.
