COVID19 and Haliburton Art and Craft Festival

Ontario Health, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health (HKPR) and Haliburton and the Municipality of Dysart et al regulations may impact Haliburton Art and Craft Festival 2025. Last year we made modifications to entry to grounds, layout, arrival and departure logistics and services; these will continue until further notice. We are a "mask-friendly" environment.
