Make Easter memories at Downey’s Farm

March 14, 2018 · 0 Comments

Make Easter 2018 a family adventure with a trip to Downey’s Farm Market for Easterfest.
Downey’s is thrilled to join the community in celebrating the 17th anniversary of its Easter festival, which has steadily grown in popularity over the years. This year’s Easterfest promises to be as exciting as ever, with five full days of activities and entertainment for family members of all ages. It will run March 24 and 25, and over Easter weekend (March 30, 31 and April 1) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Festivities will include face painting, craft, wagon rides, visit with farm animals, puppet shows and performances by magician Steve Baker of Abracadabra Magic. And once again, children will be able to take part in the Easter Egg Scramble — scrambling to find colourful plastic eggs scattered by the Easter Bunny and helpers, and exchanging their egg collection for Easter baskets of treats. New this year is the Toddler Hunt for those aged three and younger.
Festival-goers will also be able to buy Easter treats and baked goods, including Downey’s famous pumpkin donuts, from the Downey Bakery. Downey’s Estate Winery will be open March 24, 25, 31 and April 1.
Each day, the gates will open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. (with the last admission at 4 p.m.) Admission is $13 per person from ages two to 92. The mix of activities for the whole family has proven to be a winning formula that keeps people coming back, year after year.
Downey’s is at 13682 Heart Lake Rd., south of King Street. Downey’s Farm is a popular agritourism farm, growing strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn, apples and pumpkins.
The market will open daily beginning May 4.
