Traffic heavy trips to the cottage will be made easier for Torontonians thanks to the launch of the OK Friday Barn Fair. Taking place at the Burl's Creek Event Grounds just outside of the city, it is a weekly arts and market space that will become a destination for many city dwellers over the summer season.
With live music performances curated by Arts & Crafts as well as vendors from local farmers, celebrated eateries and more, the OK Friday Barn Fair is where many people will want to be between two and four on Fridays until it wraps up in the beginning of August. This series of events, which is partnered with The Karma Project, hopes to bring more exposure to the Oro-Medonte area as well, showing urbanites there life outside of their concrete worlds.
