Weekend Family Events in Cottage Country North of Toronto August 15-17

Hello ParentsCanada.com Readers!

The last couple of weeks of summer are ahead and Cottage Country is the place to be!

It’s abit of a quiet weekend when it comes to big events in Cottage Country north of Toronto this weekend. We all need breaks I guess! We suggest taking in an event or visiting a favorite attraction or just doing an activity. Grab or rent some bikes and hit a trail, find a beach and swim or go see a play! 

Whether you’re staying at a nearby resort or cottage, live in the next town over or are looking to get out of the hot city, we recommend heading to cottage country for these featured events.
