Beautiful Vintage Cars on Display at the Copper Kettle Festival, Creemore, Ontario

Copper Kettle  Festival - Creemore, Ontario

Creemore is a quaint small town about thirty minutes drive from Collingwood.  But last weekend, it was bustling with people and activities.

Sponsored by a local brewery company, the kettle Copper Festival takes place in this small town every year.

It happened on the same weekend we visited our friends and we were happy to take advantage of the opportunity and went to the festival.








Vintage tractors on display at the festival
There were a number of events happening in Creemore during this annual  festival weekend.

On our first stop, we were at the ground of the Canadian Legion Hall where numerous antique tractors were on display.





D. loves these tractors!



Our friends from the country were very excited at the sight of these old tractors which reminded them of their youthful and good old days on the farm.

I enjoyed looking at the beautiful and creative projects created out of used old scrapes of metal such as nuts and bolts.









There were two main locations where the Kettle Festival took place.






On the downtown main street, there was an antique car show.







Owners of vintage vehicles meticulously restored their cars, having spent lots of time, money and efforts restoring them to their original glory.








Walking down the main street, there were rows of magnificent shinning antique cars being displayed and admired by visitors to the festivals.

Proud owners of these enviable vehicles brought with them lounge chairs sitting close by, taking in the fine weather and enjoying the ahhs and uhhs of passersby.

There were music, entertainment, bands playing outside, displays and the most popular place for many was the free tasting of local beer as well as the imported beer.






Free beer tasting - most popular place at the Copper Kettle Festival


We went in for the free beer tasting, lingered in the brewery for a little while.












There was a free tour of the brewery facility but we were too busy enjoying ourselves and didn’t join the tour group.



Another area where a lot of booths displaying local crafts and selling various foods were at the Mad River Park but we didn’t have a chance to visit before it closed.







It was a great weekend for us!
