50th Anniversary Potato Festival Parade

The Alliston Potato Festival has been a family-focused event since 1973. Full of fun, history, and community! If you haven’t experienced it and the amazing organizations that help bring it to life, put it in your Calendar for 2024. It’s our Celebration Year and it is going to be the best festival yet!!

In 1972 Davis Willis planted the seed to host a festival celebrating community and the opportunity for all local organizations to work together. Continuously supported by the Rotary and Alliston Lions from day 1, the motion sprouted and has evolved and continued to grow and become better year after year.

What’s cool about it is that it’s not just your usual festival. You’ve got your weekend covered, with a beer garden and awesome entertainment, to fun stuff like the baby show, petting zoo, and Trillium Ford Mustang showcase.
