Pelham Summerfest transforms downtown Fonthill into an open-air community celebration for four days each July. What began in 2011 as a single-day event to showcase the town's walkable centre has grown into an award-winning festival packed with live music and entertainment for all ages, arts and crafts, retail and food vendors, a car show, a children's zone and the locally beloved Pelham Street Games.
Admission is free across all four days, making it one of the more accessible large community gatherings in west Niagara. The 2026 edition runs July 16 to 19, so it is currently underway as of this listing, with the festival marking its thirteenth year.
