Celebrating all things grown, made and created within Renfrew County!
Launched in 2006, Taste of the Valley has grown into one of Renfrew County’s most popular and well-attended events, offering a vibrant and inclusive experience for vendors, residents, and visitors alike. The event embraces a broad concept of “taste,” showcasing high-quality, thoughtfully made products that reflect the rich flavours, creativity, and culture of our region. From local food and handmade goods to art and heritage, Taste of the Valley highlights the best Renfrew County has to offer in a dynamic, market-style setting.
Taste of the Valley is an indoor/outdoor market event that celebrates all things grown, made and created within Renfrew County!
The event is now held four times per year between July and October in a select number of communities across Renfrew County, with a fifth Holiday edition event being held in December. Taste of the Valley events promote and support local food producers, growers and makers in the Ottawa Valley and encourage “Taste of Place” in celebration of local food, products, art and culture.
