Announcing Ecofest Barrie 2012 – June 9, 10

About Us

Working collaboratively as a community to celebrate our earth and to offer a message of new possibilities and alternate lifestyles.

The message of a cleaner, healthier and longer lasting Earth is best carried through the diversity of music, art, and cultural expression. In this way, history must repeat itself.

Ecofest Barrie takes place directly on the shores of Lake Simcoe so what better place to come and swim, paddle and get wet? We have a host of exciting and fun water activities for you, no matter your age. Grab a drink from our café and water bar and then head to the beach for a ride in our water balloons. Fancy a trip in a canoe? Why not get your beginner paddler's certification at the same time!
