Events Description
Our downtown core and our waterfront parks will host 200+ vendors and food trucks for Ontario’s Best Butter Tart Festival presented by Chapman’s, voted by Festivals and Events Ontario as one of the Top 100 Festivals and Events in the province!
Our vendors sell everything from butter tarts to unique, hand-made items. And the variety of butter tarts you’ll find at our festival include plain, raisin, pecan, walnut, skor, maple, bacon, coconut, chocolate covered, PB&J, s’mores, gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, cheesecake, pumpkin… and so many more.
At our inaugural butter tart festival in June 2013, the festival sold out of the 10,000 butter tarts available for sale by 11 a.m. The number of butter tarts available for sale increases each year. In 2024 we were up to 300,000 butter tarts sold by our vendors. Attendance has also increased to approximately 60,000+ visitors for this incredible one day event.
The Egg Farmers of Ontario Butter Tart Contest awards the prize for BEST Butter Tart in Ontario. The contest is open to both professional and amateur/home bakers. The contest features both Traditional and Wild Style categories. Our judges include celebrities, chefs, food and travel bloggers, local dignitaries all with one thing in common – a love of butter tarts!
The Entertainment Stage features family-friendly musical performances all day. And kids love the Kids Zone in Harbourside Park. Visitors enjoy the convenient and free shuttle service on The Great Canadian Meat Shuttle from two Midland locations. We also offer free bike valet service, and free transit.
And while you are here, we hope you visit our downtown merchants and their unique shops. Some offer butter tart festival sales, deals and sweet treats. Mark your calendar to join us for the sweetest day of the year, June 13, 2026!
