The Small Halls Festival has been named Best New Festival or Event in the $100,000-$500,000 budget category by Festivals and Events Ontario.
The Woodstock based not-for-profit handed out awards to its members at its conference in Niagara Falls on March 6.
The first Small Halls Festival took place last year from Oct. 3-5, with many events at the township’s small halls and community centres. This year’s festival is planned for Oct. 1-4.
“Our community is well served by a talented and motivated group of volunteers that find ways to work together and have fun doing so, making Clearview our home”, said event chair Doug Measures.
Also on the list of Festivals and Events Ontario winners is the Apple Harvest Festival and Apple Pie Trail, in the Best Community Partner Outreach Program category.
Joining Clearview in the best new event category is Canada’s only Guitar Trail in Blue Mountains and Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Waterloo.
