Events Description
An annual Kleinburg highlight in September is the Binder Twine Festival. It began in the late 1800′s when farmers came to the community to buy twine to bind their sheaves of wheat together. Charlie Shaw, owner of Shaw’s Hardware Store in Kleinburg, offered food and entertainment to the visiting farmers and an annual celebration was born, continuing until his death in 1931.
In 1967, a small committee revived the concept of Binder Twine as Kleinburg’s centennial project. It was so successful that it once again became an annual event. Occurring in September, this exciting festival features juried craft exhibitors, great food and entertainment.
An exciting day filled with unique crafts, great entertainment, Olde Tyme activities and great food awaits the entire family. Kleinburg closes its main street to become a pedestrian marketplace! An exciting day filled with unique crafters/artisans, street performers, Children’s Area and Olde Tyme activities, food trucks, Our Famous Back Bacon on a Bun, beer/wine garden and more for the entire family.
