Folk festival will provide the soundtrack for a busy weekend

Check out what's happening this week in Ontario's Lake Country

Are you looking for something to do this weekend? Look no further!

Each week, staff from Ontario’s Lake Country, the Destination Marketing Organization for Orillia, Oro Medonte, Rama, Ramara and Severn, produces a video that highlights what is happening in our region. Titled ‘This Week in Ontario’s Lake Country’, the short, dynamic video shines the spotlight on activities and events in and around the area.

Thanks to a partnership with Ontario’s Lake Country, that video is shared on OrilliaMatters each Friday morning so you can plan your weekend and week ahead.

Here’s what’s happening ‘This Week In Ontario’s Lake Country’:
