The festival will host 200 vendors and food trucks, so you’ll be able to balance all of the sweetness with some savoury bites. Plus, the festival grounds will be filled with buskers and entertainers.

Most importantly, though, are the contests. The festival will crown the best butter tart baker in every category, including the best traditional tart, wild style categories, and best in show.

The panel of judges will consist of butter tart-loving celebrities, chefs, food and travel bloggers, and local dignitaries. If you’re a home baker, this could be your chance to get some recognition!

Not only will there be a festival to attend, but tart-lovers can also get active and cycle Simcoe County’s Butter Tart Trail, so you can break a sweat, support local, and sink your teeth into something sweet all at once.

Mark this festival in your calendar and start dreaming of all the tasty creations you’ll get to try.
