Interested in entering?

Reach out to us, we’d love to have you take part.

And here’s a little extra motivation: all that decorating will be on full display when Norfolk Applefest rolls onto Argyle St. on Saturday, September 26, from 11 AM – 3 PM. 🍎

Downtown Simcoe is looking a little brighter this week!

Our sidewalks received some much-needed pressure washing today, clearing away the dust and grime of a busy summer season.

If you’re heading downtown in the coming days to squeeze in the last bit of summer, take a moment to notice the difference and while you’re at it, stop in and say hello to the shops and businesses that make our downtown what it is.

Thanks for supporting local, Simcoe!
