Long Branch Tree Fest

This year’s Long Branch Tree Fest will be held on Sunday, September 22nd in Marie Curtis Park. From noon until 4 pm, you can visit over 50 exhibitors and vendors and participate in a variety of activities for all ages.

This also is a special occasion, as it marks the 135th Anniversary of the incorporation of the Village of Long Branch.

We have a number of local musicians to entertain you and there will be an open mic to allow young musicians to showcase their skills.

For adults, we have yoga and nature walks to explore the trails in Marie Curtis Park and enjoy the beauty of the park.

For kids, we have story-telling and face painting.

In keeping with the theme of celebrating and preserving the urban forest around us, we have an arborist to answer your questions about trees and, for avid gardeners, we will have a plant exchange and giveaway of shrubs.

The Long Branch Tree Fest is made possible through the generous support of a number of public and private organizations including:

  • The Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation
  • The City of Toronto
  • Toronto Pearson Airport
  • TD Park People Grants
  • The Long Branch Business Improvement Association
  • Fair Grounds Organic Cafe

We look forward to seeing you there. See other Long Branch events here.
