Fall in Northeastern Ontario is no reason to hibernate—consider it a reason to celebrate! The kaleidoscope of autumn colours, the festive fall fairs, and the cozy evenings are a perfect send-off to a summer well spent.
Join us at one of the many fall fairs, festivities, and events happening across Northeastern Ontario. If you're planning your trip around the fall colours, they are expected to peak at the end of September, and early October (check the 2017 Fall Colours Report).
