Hey everyone! It’s Taylor — your go-to guide for Ontario’s best local events — and I’ve got a hot tip for your weekend plans. If you’re looking for something festive, family-friendly, and full of charm, make your way to Downtown Milton SummerFest on Saturday, June 7th. Trust me, this isn’t just another street fair — it’s a full-on celebration of community, culture, and summer vibes.

What to Expect at SummerFest

Hosted by the Downtown Milton Business Improvement Area with support from the Town of Milton, SummerFest is all about showcasing what makes this town special. From 12PM to 8PM, Main Street will be completely closed to traffic so the heart of downtown can come alive with live music, local shopping, food trucks, and fun activities for all ages.

Whether you’re coming with the family, a group of friends, or just looking to wander on your own, there’s a little something for everyone.

Local Love on Display

One of the best parts of SummerFest is the spotlight it shines on Milton’s small businesses and local vendors. Think handmade goods, artisan crafts, fashion, home décor, sweet treats, and more—all lining the street with open tents and welcoming smiles. It’s a great opportunity to shop local and meet the makers behind your favourite Milton brands.

And if you're a foodie? You’re in luck. Expect a tasty lineup of food trucks and pop-up eateries, from sizzling street eats to gourmet bites and cool summer desserts. Don’t forget to bring your appetite.

Music, Entertainment & Family Fun

It wouldn’t be SummerFest without a full schedule of live entertainment. Multiple stages will feature performances by local bands, solo artists, dancers, and more—all bringing energy and rhythm to the downtown streets.

Kids (and kids at heart) will love the interactive family zone, complete with games, crafts, and all kinds of hands-on fun to keep little ones entertained while the grown-ups browse or grab a drink.

And yes, there’s plenty of Instagram-worthy moments throughout—look out for the buskers, chalk art, and those cozy summer street scenes that just scream Ontario in June.

Make It a Full Day in Milton

Why not turn your SummerFest visit into a full-on Milton day trip? Before the event kicks off, grab a coffee and pastry from Third Moon Coffee or The Barn Door Studio for that early morning downtown vibe. After the festival, take a short drive over to Kelso Conservation Area or explore Rattlesnake Point for golden-hour views and sunset strolls.
