Made up of many smaller rural communities like Deerhurst and Green Valley, Bradford also has a thriving downtown core. It is here where you can bring family and friends out to one of Bradford’s never ending events. One of the highlights of living in Braford, is to attend the Mayor’s New Year’s Eve Levee, a casual reception to celebrate the coming year. You can also combine the beauty of the outdoors with art and culture by attending an outdoor movie or a Music in the Park event.

Reflecting Canada’s diversity, the majority of Bradford’s 36,000 people are of recent European descent, with larger numbers coming from Portugal and Hungary. Everyone reaps the rewards of this diversity exemplified by Bradford’s restaurant scene. Eat Souvlaki at Nostimo’s Greek or Portuguese Barbeque at O Poleiro.

Having its roots in a farmer’s village famed for its carrots, Bradford still does farmer’s markets better than well. The largest and most famous being the Bradford Carrot Festival, which draws a crowd of 12,000 people, some of which come from England to attend and the crowd continues to grow every year. More than just superb produce, this festival also has a variety of food and activities for the whole family.
