Unionville Simcoe Day Festival

Explore the charms of Historic Main Street Unionville.

On Monday, August 2nd, 2010 celebrate Ontario's day dedicated to John Graves Simcoe, the co-founder of our village. Visitors can take in the small town charms, shop and relax in one of the best preserved villages from Ontario’s past. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of a truly unique Simcoe Day celebration. Nestled near Kennedy Road and Highway 7, Main Street Unionville is a mere 20 minutes from downtown Toronto, yet a world away from the hustle of the big city. Older than Confederation itself, with buildings preserved from the 1800’s, Main Street Unionville offers an assortment of trendy street cafés, bistros, restaurants, shops and boutiques. Everything will be open on Simcoe Day! 

There’s something for the whole family at this year’s Simcoe Day Celebrations:
   -  Enjoy old-fashioned European style Double Decker bus tours of the village.
   -  Stay for the afternoon and watch street performances.
   -  Shops and Restaurants will be open!
