About Crowfest
Crowfest is a celebration of all things “crow” in Chatham-Kent. While crows are in Chatham-Kent year round, they are very noticeable in the month of October. The crow, in most cultures, represents luck or wisdom. There will be daily activities for Crowfest in downtown Chatham starting on Wednesday the 11th leading up to the main events on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th of October.
There are many activities happening during Crowfest which are listed below. Some of the highlights are dueling pianos on Wednesday October 11th, the Gala in the 11th, the night market and buskers on the 13th, and then the highlight of the celebration on Saturday the 14th.
Please look through the site and get involved, become a volunteer or vendor, enter the art or costume contest, or attend the gala and all the exciting events.
