There's nothing better than spending a fall day in nature, connecting with loved ones! Nestled into the countryside, this historic working farm offers lots of fun for the whole family. Yound and old alike delight in the offering of fall activities, which include thousands of pumpkins and fall decor, wagon rides, farm animals, kids' activities, along with local seasonal treats like farm fresh kettle corn and pumpkin curry. Come and join us for some time together, daily from 10 to 5 until October 31.

This event will bring together small and medium-sized business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community partners to build strategic connections, be inspired by new ideas, learn about available business supports, and celebrate the local business successes.

Seating is limited and dinner will be served. Please ensure that you provide any dietary requirements when you complete your registration.

Registration closes October 15 at 11:59 p.m., or when space runs out. 

There will be a $10 fee to attend, and all proceeds will be donated to North House. North House provides a spectrum of housing supports for those who are at risk or in crisis within the communities of North Durham.  

After 35 years, putting Uxbridge on the literary map in Canada is not a stretch for Blue Heron Books. The store is long accustomed to bringing first-class literary talent to Durham Region. 

Former Durham resident, Lucy Maud Montgomery once quipped, “I am simply a book drunkard” — relatable words for readers and writers. The Book Drunkard Festival captures the wonderment of the written word and its ability to intoxicate, transport, and transform; it is meant for all ages and myriad tastes. 

The 2019 festival – an unprecedented success – featured literary legends, an exceptional chef, art, theatre, and musical masters, and the 2020 virtual festival delivered the same top-notch literary talent in a new, virtual format. 

Post pandemic, the festival kicked it up a notch with a variety of in-person and virtual events, including the Half-Pints Kids events, award-winning authors, much-anticipated book launches, Giller nominees, food, chocolate, beer, and astronaut Chris Hadfield! 

As we get ready to kick off a new year with exceptional talent, 2024’s line-up will set you up for a season of exceptional author experiences as well as a great new stack of TBR (to be read) on the nightstand! 

Join in for one event or all.
