The County of Renfrew’s Economic Development Division is pleased to present the fifth and final Taste of the Valley event of the 2025 season—an annual celebration of the food, craftsmanship, and creativity found throughout Renfrew County.
The Taste of the Valley Holiday Edition will be held on Saturday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 170 Ellis Avenue in Pembroke.
Launched more than a decade ago to spotlight local food producers, Taste of the Valley has since expanded into a dynamic showcase of the region’s diverse offerings. Today, the event embraces a broader definition of “taste,” celebrating not only local flavours, but also handmade goods, visual arts, and cultural experiences that reflect the character and creativity of Ottawa Valley communities.
The Pembroke Holiday Edition will feature more than 55 vendors inside and outside the hall, offering fresh local produce, handcrafted items from local artisans, baked goods, hot prepared foods, and jams and preserves from producers across Renfrew County. All Taste of the Valley events in 2025 are presented in partnership with their host municipalities.
A much-anticipated seasonal tradition, the Taste of the Valley Holiday Market highlights Renfrew County’s creativity and community spirit.
