FernFest is fast approaching and we are looking for volunteers to come join our team!! We have so many fun opportunities for you to get involved with from Thursday, June 12 – Sunday, June 15 including: drink ticket agents, beer garden servers & pourers, BBQ crew, festival set-up crew, tear-down crew, Field of Dreams, artisan market, performer greeter, bike valet, and more! We also have opportunities to help out pre-event!

FernFest kicks off on the evening of Friday, June 13 and runs all day Saturday, June 14. It is an all-ages, free event, where we host multiple stages for local artists to perform, a kid’s zone, non-profit hub, beverage gardens, an artisan market, a BBQ, food court, workshops, magic, and more!

Volunteering with us comes with some great perks: a free FernFest volunteer t-shirt, a ticket for a free BBQ item or beverage, an invitation to our Appreciation Party that includes food, beverages and entertainment, making lasting memories, and working with a bunch of amazing people!

If this sounds right up your alley, please sign up HERE.

This year, we are using Better Impact as our volunteer system, where you get to create a profile, pick your own shifts and keep up with FernFest details all in one place.

Mark Your Calendar: Fernwood Art Stroll 2025 is back

Fernwood Art Stroll 2025

>> Fernwood Art Stroll

We are preparing for another fantastic artists’ studio tour for Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8 from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

This free event is open to all and will include over 20 artists and artisans showcasing their work: paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, hand-made jewellery, garden art and rustic sculpture, and hand-painted furniture. This is your chance to meet local artists in their studios and talk to them about their work and process. We are an unjuried group and our range of art is varied and extensive (as are the prices, if you want to take home a hand-made, original piece, or find a one-of a-kind gift for someone dear to you.)


Many of the participating artists have beautiful gardens as well, making this event a wonderful stroll through our neighbourhood, at a lovely time of year. Look for our brochures coming out in May, or go to: fernwoodartstroll.ca for more info.
