6th Annual Purple Onion Festival

This year is a little cooler than last year, but once again it is a bright and sunny day for the 6th Annual Purple Onion Festival.












Its location in Millennium Park in Peterborough, Ontario right on the banks of the Otonabee River is peaceful and relaxing.
















It didn't take long for us to set up our display in the space beside the Silver Bean Cafe which attracts a lot of people into the building; with many of them coming through the building after enjoying their coffee or a meal on the patio.















About an hour after the opening of the Festival the first performer which drew a good number of people to our area. We are able to watch the performances throughout the day, which is an added bonus.














At lunchtime we took turns going over to the Taste of The Kawarthas Tent to sample the delicious local food served by ten of the local chefs from some of the finest restaurants in the area.

















After lunch a couple of us went out to the Water Street. entrance to Millennium Park to watch the Dance for the Climate where we had the opportunity to learn songs and a few dance moves.

















During the last couple of hours of the Festival some of us went out to buy some of the locally grown produce, while others visited the Wellness Village to see the wellness practitioners and purchase a few of their specialty products.















At the end of the show it didn't take very long for everything to be torn down, packaged up and loaded into the vehicles and we were all on our way home after another successful show.
