In 1970, five historical communities: Fonthill, Ridgeville, Effingham, North Pelham and Fenwick unified to become the Town of Pelham and very recently has started to become an active lifestyle leader in Niagara. Lately, Pelham has focused on improving walkabililty and cycling to all of their incredible facets, like the weekly Farmers’ Market, Fonthill Bandshell, boutique shops and popular restaurants.
To show off what Pelham has to offer, the town has put together a fantastic, family friendly, four day event, right in the core of downtown called Pelham Summerfest. There will be plenty of live bands, children’s activities, delicious food, arts, crafts, wine garden and beer pavilion.
There is expected to be an incredible turnout of 20,000 visitors, so make sure to come very early every day of the event!
