Operating Two Tourism Websites: Ontario Visited & Ontario Agritourism

For more than 20 years, Festival and Event Services Inc. has been dedicated to promoting Ontario tourism through original, experience-based content. Our work is grounded in firsthand visits to communities, attractions, fairs, festivals, and rural destinations across the province. Through these authentic tourism experiences, we create engaging stories, photographs, and videos that inspire visitors to explore Ontario.

Our mission is twofold: to attract tourism visitors and to keep tourism organizers connected to a targeted, travel-focused audience. We provide timely event listings, community updates, and tourism news on behalf of communities and event organizers, helping visitors plan meaningful trips while ensuring organizers gain valuable exposure.

Our “Visitor Experiences”,  including videos, photography, feature articles, and blog posts, are shared across our websites and social media platforms. Each piece of content is informed by real travel throughout Ontario, reinforcing credibility, accuracy, and authenticity.

Ontario Visited

Ontario Visited focuses on communities, attractions, and festivals throughout the province. In addition to an Event Directory, the website includes:

  • Ontario Community Pulse – bite-size news direct from event organizers, plus a bridge to companion Fair News on Ontario Agritourism.
  • Hidden Ontario – quick reads that spotlight off-the-radar places, legends, and people keeping small-town culture alive.
  • Ontario Perspectives – short field notes and photo essays linking rural life to province-wide themes.

These evergreen articles provide long-term promotional value, offering in-depth storytelling that continues to attract interest well beyond a single event date.

Ontario Agritourism

Ontario Agritourism serves as a companion website with a specialized focus on rural communities and agricultural experiences. In addition to an Event Directory and News section, the website includes:

  • Agri-Guide – Informational resources about Ontario Fairs, Farms, Farmers’ Markets, Farm Stores, and Agritourism Attractions & Events
  • Showcase Section – Highlighting Ontario Fairs, Farmers’ Markets, Farm Stores, Agritourism Attractions, Agri-Heritage facilities, and Rural Communities
  • Agri-Flicks – YouTube videos featuring fairs, farming activities, and agritourism attractions
  • Field Notes – Feature articles focused on fairs, farming, rural experiences, and agricultural attractions

Together, these six sections create a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate platform that promotes Ontario’s rural tourism sector in a meaningful and organized way.
