Pelham’s done it again! The Town of Pelham and the Pelham Summerfest Committee are pleased to announce that Pelham Summerfest — the Town’s signature event — has been recognized by Festivals and Events Ontario (FEO) for a second year in a row as one of the Top 100 Festivals and Events in Ontario.
"We couldn’t be more proud that Festivals & Events Ontario has once again highlighted Pelham Summerfest as one of the Province's Best 100!" said Mayor Dave Augustyn. "It is due to our remarkable volunteers and sponsors that our community festival is such a great success and we hope you will join us again this year starting on Thursday, July 14th."
