Home of the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival
The annual Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival is a unique event. This is partially due to its legacy of incredible talent and performances, but this is not the only thing that attracts the tens of thousands of revelers each year.
What makes this event truly unique is that it takes place in the heart of the Hills of Headwaters, and the vast assortment of attractions and activities that are available throughout this area.
Located just outside Toronto’s back door and named for the four (4) major river systems that originate here, the Hills of Headwaters region is blessed with what can be described as “an embarrassment of riches”.
Less than an hour northwest of downtown Toronto you will find quaint historic towns and villages, bustling industrial areas and generations-old family farms all nestled among the gently rolling landscape. The Hills of Headwaters is also home to iconic natural features including the Niagara Escarpment (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), the Oak Ridges Moraine and a vast network of ancient and modern trails including the Bruce Trail system.
You will navigate winding country roads that ebb and flow with the natural lay of the land ~ a driving enthusiast’s delight ~ and around each turn is a different treasure just waiting to be found and a new experience for you to discover.
The Hills of Headwaters is also a veritable playground for foodies ~ boasting an abundance of award-winning restaurants and culinary artists that use local, natural and organic ingredients to create spectacular cuisine.
It is a popular destination for golfers, equine enthusiasts and those who appreciate the arts. And if you are in need of an escape to relax and pamper yourself, there is a generous selection of luxurious spas, inns, resorts, motels and Bed & Breakfasts to choose from.
These are just a few of the many things that make The Hills of Headwaters the perfect setting for an event like the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival, and/or a quiet getaway at any time of year.
