Friendship Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Friendship Festival is a summer event that takes place every August in the town of Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. Small trinkets and valuable goods are sold in a lively outdoor market that is open from sunrise to sunset. While food items are served in certain booths, most items sold are earrings, necklaces, dresses, and other items oriented towards females. Music by local artists are also demonstrated in special tents where the people have move to perform their musical artistry. The cheerleaders from Simcoe Composite School are also involved in the summer event, giving away raffle tickets to support the local festivities.

As of September 2005 the Rotary Club of Simcoe is the title sponsor of the event.
