When the kids head back to school and the first hint of autumn is on the air, Almonte starts gearing up for its favourite fall festival: Fibrefest! This year’s event — the 23nd annual celebration of the fibre arts.
Local guilds will demonstrate spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, lacemaking, smocking and quilting.
Celtfest is a free afternoon of Ottawa Valley and Celtic entertainment, performed in the natural amphitheatre of Gemmill Park in the heart of Almonte. It is a time to share the historical Celtic traditions with today’s local performers. Celtfest also presents a select group of unique artisans and vendors of specialty goods with a Celtic flair.
50+ different hand makers each day! (We flip the place overnight!)
Kids + parking free.
This sale will be the same weekend as the Cheerfully Made Market at the Town Hall and the Ottawa Valley Artisan Show at the Almonte Arena. It’s a great weekend with SO many visitors travelling to Almonte to see these handmade markets!
