Top 100 Festivals & Events Award

Top 100 Ontario Festivals Program

Each year, Festivals & Events Ontario recognizes and celebrates the many top-notch festivals and events our province currently enjoys through the annual Top 100 Ontario Festivals program (formerly the Top 50).  The Top 100 Ontario Festivals program acknowledges excellence in the province’s festivals and events industry and the Top 100 designation carries the highest visibility of all of FEO’s awards programs.

There is significant market value in being named in the Top 100, including specialized promotion in the annual Festivals & Events In Ontario Guide which boasts a readership of 750,000.  Top 100 Ontario Festivals recipients are also encouraged to incorporate the Top 100 logo into their promotional materials and websites.
