A Tornado Couldn't Stop Us!

August 17-19, 2012

Come Join Us at Seacliff Park!

The 2010 Tornado couldn't stop this Community from building a Bigger and Better Festival. We are back baby!

The Carolinian Forest canopy in Family-Friendly Seacliff Park's endures and the Park is dramatically enhanced with environmentally-friendly lighted walkways surrounding a huge children's Splash Pad and picnic area. The “cliff's” gently re-sloped arboral amphitheater focuses view on a new New Main Stage with its backdrop to an expansive and gorgeous Lake Erie shoreline.

Come-on and take a look!

Leamington's Tomato Festival is the area's only Free Family Festival and we're coming back to wonderfully enhanced Seacliff Park for three days of Family Fun, Live Local Talent, Foods and Crafts.

Entering our 28th year this Historic Signature event will fill your Stay/Day with great Live Entertainment and exciting Vendors. The Golf Tournament and Beauty Pageant precede the opening ceremonies and Parade - PLUS NEW - Three Days of Main Stage Live Entertainment, a larger Children's Village, Real Crafts plus great Food Vendors. Did we mention that Wineries from the Lake Erie North Shore and Pelee Island Wine Region will feature their world class Vintages. Come See “New” Seacliff Park

A Tomato?

Yes, Leamington is the “Tomato Capital” of Canada. The H. J. Heinz Company of Canada Ltd.'s annual employee picnic celebrated the area’s bountiful Tomato Harvest and was a longstanding tradition. Over time community-minded citizens, with support from Heinz, extended this unique Family tradition to celebrate today's Culture and Rural Resources with a “Tomato Festival”. We never forget... and we never look back!

Locally grown Field Tomatoes are the largest vegetable crop grown in the region and used by Heinz Canada in its food products for shipping worldwide. And - we have one of the largest concentrations of Commercial Greenhouses in the world. Our Region supplies supermarkets across North America and the World. The Tomato is the centre piece of a Festival which retains ties to a strong Family Heritage and Community Identity.

So come, join Community and Visitors as we celebrate the Festival's growing prosperity, its community achievements, and great Family Fun.

You're in Tomato Land now!
