6. There’s always a festival somewhere
Traditionally the season of plenty, autumn brings local harvest festivals across Canada. Wherever you go, you’ll find something going on that celebrates the bounty of the fall. Prince Edward Island, in Nova Scotia, stages its International Shellfish Festival, Prince Edward County in Ontario holds its annual Pumpkinfest and Winona, between Toronto and Niagara, puts on a great Peach Festival.
If wine is your tipple, you can’t wrong with Canada in autumn. The Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada’s biggest wine-producing region celebrates the grape harvest in October with 60 events over 10 days. On the other side of the country, the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival gets underway.
