The Taste of the Valley vendor market, part of the 2024 event series, is set to take place on Saturday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Killaloe. The event will be held at the municipal hall parking lot, located at 1 John Street.
Organized by the County of Renfrew’s Economic Development Division, the Taste of the Valley series is a celebration of all things grown, made, and created in Renfrew County. Originally conceived to promote and support local food producers in the Ottawa Valley, the event has since evolved to showcase a broader range of local offerings, including food, products, art, and culture.
The Killaloe event will feature more than 60 vendors, offering fresh local produce, unique handcrafted items from talented artists and artisans, baked goods, hot food, and a variety of jams and preserves. The vendors will be set up in the parking lot of the Township of Killaloe, Hagarty, and Richards municipal hall.
“I’m thrilled to see the Taste of the Valley event making its debut in Killaloe!” said Colton Charbonneau, Community Development Coordinator for the Township of Killaloe, Hagarty, and Richards. “This exciting occasion promises to bring a vibrant array of local flavors and community spirit to our township for the very first time.”
In 2024, Taste of the Valley events are being held in partnership with host municipalities across the region, including Madawaska Valley, Petawawa, Whitewater Region, and Killaloe, Hagarty, and Richards. The series draws thousands of visitors from the Ottawa Valley, Ottawa, and surrounding areas. The 2024 Holiday edition will be hosted in partnership with the Town of Renfrew.
“Taste of the Valley events always feature a variety of local vendors, including farmers, artists, artisans, bakers, and food producers. The events celebrate local culture and support the regional economy by connecting producers directly with consumers,” said Scott Hamilton, Economic Development Coordinator with the County of Renfrew’s Economic Development Division.
