Whether you’re young, old, or somewhere in between, you’ll find plenty to enjoy at our many festivals. Every year, we celebrate Kitchener-Waterloo’s historic German roots in grand scale during Oktoberfest, the largest Bavarian festival outside of Munich, Germany.
Other major special events include Blues, Brews, & Barbecues, the UpTown Waterloo Jazz Festival, Word on the Street, the K-W Multicultural Festival, KidSpark, Christkindl Market, and the Royal Medieval Faire. For entertainment and enjoyment, culture and cuisine, history and hospitality, let Kitchener and Waterloo welcome you with a personal touch.
