History of Unionville Festival
In 1969, Unionville residents banded together to save Main Street Unionville in a protest that would eventually transform into the Unionville Festival. The widening of Kennedy Road that was taking place South of Highway 7 concerned residents that it would continue North and destroy the historic homes and businesses of Main Street Unionville. They rallied in protest and successfully demonstrated their commitment to maintaining and safeguarding historic Main Street. Since then, the annual Unionville Festival kicks off the summer, filling Main Street with thousands of people.
