Experience creativity, community, culture and more at the 2025 Stonetown Heritage Festival!

Join us for even more vendors, delicious food, and exciting fun!

Downtown St. Marys will be buzzing on Saturday, July 12 with activity as over 65 businesses, vendors, and community groups line the streets offering unique goods, local fare, and insights into the vibrant services that make St. Marys special.

“Our Stonetown Heritage Festival is a fantastic showcase of our downtown's flavour — literally,” says Downtown St. Marys BIA. “We're delighted to see our downtown come alive with local pride as vendors bring their best into the streets.”

For those who appreciate handcrafted treasures, the Vendor Village will be a must-see, featuring a wide variety of items from local artisans, crafters, and authors. External vendors will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while participating downtown businesses will keep the celebration going until 9:30 p.m. with late-night shopping and live music to carry the festival atmosphere into the evening.

Festival attendees can experience live pottery demonstrations, the artistry of tattooing with complimentary temporary airbrush tattoos and several interactive activities for everyone to enjoy.

Food lovers are in for a treat with a lineup of delicious options on Water St. S., where food trucks like The Sunset Shack, Anne’s Caramelcrisp, DC Foods, Cluck Daddy’s, and Campbell’s Canteen will be serving all day.

Additional refreshments and snacks will be available throughout the Vendor Village, and a free water refill station will be located at the intersection of Queen St. and Wellington St. S.

Downtown eateries will be serving up special festival menus and local favourites. During the festival, enjoy your meal or drink at one of four licensed patios - Snapping Turtle Coffee Roasters, TuttCo, Flour Mill, and Gilly's Pubhouse - all located in the heart of downtown and perfectly paired with live performances throughout the day.
