Barrie, Ontario

An hour north of Toronto, on the shores of Lake Simcoe is the fun and energetic city of Barrie.

Head to downtown Barrie for one of the many festivals – like Promenade Days and Celebrate Barrie – and live performances that mark Barrie's Community Calendar. If you're looking for something tasty, check out the farmers' market on Saturday mornings – the market square offers friendly, neighborly conversation along with its delicious baked goods.

If the sweet treats aren't stimulating enough, check out the Georgian Downs, where you can try your luck with the horse races or at the slots. Or please your palate at a tasting event hosted by the Simcoe Steam Brewery Brewhouse. Even the winter cold can be fun in Barrie, with its Winterfest and Festival of Ice. And the five-day Barrie Fair – with its rides, music, and occasional monster truck – offers heart-pumping fun for kids of all ages. All this, plus many parks and lakeside fun.

So whether you like the thrill of the races at Georgian Downs racetrack, the friendly chatter of old friends, or something in between, you'll get to know your 103,710 neighbors in no time in the lakeside city of Barrie.
