Ontario Moonshine Festival 2026

Join us for the fifth annual Ontario Moonshine Festival: a full day celebrating craft spirits, live music, artisan makers, and the vibrant community that makes Eastern Ontario special. From morning tastings to evening entertainment under the stars, this is where tradition meets good times.

Ontario's Finest Moonshine & Spirits

Sample craft moonshine and spirits from distilleries across Ontario. Discover new flavours, meet the makers behind the magic, and find your new favourite 'shine to take home. Sip house-made cocktails showcasing the creativity and quality that defines Ontario's craft spirits scene.

Live Music All Day Long

Toe-tappin' bluegrass, country roots, rockabilly, folk, and more. Our stages come alive with talented musicians creating the soundtrack to your festival experience. From morning melodies to evening dance sessions, the music never stops.

Artisan Market & Vendors

Support rural artisans, food vendors, and craftspeople offering everything from handmade wares to moonshine-themed goods. Browse unique creations, enjoy delicious bites from local food trucks, and take home treasures you won't find anywhere else.

Interactive Workshops & Experiences

Get hands-on with interactive workshops, distillery demonstrations, and experiences that bring you closer to the craft. Learn, taste, and discover what makes moonshine more than just a spirit—it's a heritage.

Evening Under the Stars

As the sun sets over Perth's countryside, the festival transforms. Dance the night away to live music, enjoy a possible dark sky stargazing experience under some of Ontario's clearest skies, and soak in the magic that only happens when good people gather over great spirits.
