Celebrating 52 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 52 years and Kempenfest is now one of the largest outdoor arts, crafts, and music festival in Ontario. 2024 promises to be the biggest and best festival ever and it is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration of reconnecting with our community of art and music lovers.

What people say about Kempenfest
This is my favourite festival that Barrie hosts annually. Artisans and craftsmen. Good food. The hunt for a treasure or a bargain, or that perfect gift. A wander through so many art forms. There’s something for everyone.
