Get ready food lovers! Downtown Orillia is preparing to welcome back Delicious Days of Summer on June 27th, bringing the largest food event in the area right to the heart of the community!
For its inaugural year, the festival attracted 3,000 attendees and 50 vendors who served up mouth-watering treats, handmade baked goods and unique flavours, this festival is set to deliver another unforgettable experience.
The 2026 festival will feature more than 120 vendors and a full street closure in the downtown core, transforming the area into a lively, open-air marketplace. Visitors can expect a dynamic mix of local food vendors, handcrafted goods, and unique artisan products, all showcasing the incredible talent found throughout Orillia and across Simcoe County. Attendance is expected to significantly increase as the festival continues to build momentum.
Delicious Days of Summer is organized by Jessi Miller of My Best Friend’s Cupcakes and Mark Robillard of Sugar Dessert Bar in partnership with the Downtown Orillia BIA. Together, they are committed to creating a welcoming and energetic event that highlights local businesses and celebrates the region’s creativity and culinary scene.
In an exciting new development, the festival will also receive international exposure through its inclusion on Netflix’s bilingual In Your Neighbourhood platform. This interactive experience allows users to explore filming locations from popular shows and discover the communities behind them.
Downtown Orillia is featured through the production Finding Her Edge, which showcased local businesses such as Apple Annie’s and Mr. Seto. This recognition offers a valuable opportunity to attract new visitors and further highlight Orillia as a destination.
