The Unionville Festival has been a<br />
beloved tradition for over half a century,<br />
bringing together residents and visitors in<br />
a vibrant celebration of community spirit.<br />
Rooted in history and brimming with modern<br />
flair, this annual event has become a<br />
highlight on the calendar for many, offering<br />
a diverse array of activities, entertainment,<br />
and culinary delights.<br />
In 1969, Unionville residents banded<br />
together to save what is now Main Street<br />
Unionville in a protest that would eventually<br />
transform into the Unionville Festival.<br />
The widening of Kennedy Road, which was<br />
taking place south of Highway 7, concerned<br />
residents that it would continue north and<br />
destroy historic homes and businesses. They<br />
rallied in protest and successfully demonstrated<br />
their commitment to maintaining<br />
and safeguarding historic Main Street.<br />
Today, the annual Unionville Festival<br />
ignites the summer, transforming Main<br />
Street into a bustling hub of excitement.<br />
Visitors can meander along historic Main<br />
Street Unionville and uncover handcrafted<br />
goods and unique finds from local vendors.<br />
The air is alive with a medley of live music,<br />
spanning genres from jazz and blues to rock<br />
and pop. Families can enjoy performances<br />
from The Ultimutts, inflatables, games, and<br />
The Town of <strong>Stouffville</strong> has announced<br />
the return of the Main Street 5K and 1K Kids<br />
Dash.<br />
The second annual <strong>Stouffville</strong> Main<br />
Street 5K will continue to benefit the<br />
<strong>Markham</strong> <strong>Stouffville</strong> Hospital Foundation.<br />
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or<br />
just looking for a fun way to stay active while<br />
supporting an amazing local cause, this event<br />
is perfect for runners and walkers of all levels.<br />
You can sign up as an individual, couple,<br />
family, group of friends, or team. The event<br />
