More than a thousand residents attended the Town of Innisfil's inaugural 'InnisFALL' festival on Saturday, which celebrated the spirit of fall with live music and entertainment at Innisfil Town Square.

The free midday festival featured performances by local country artists Brian John Harwood and Rob Watts Band, a farm animal exhibit and other family activities, as well as food and art vendors.

Mayor Lynn Dollin says the Town's residents had a strong appetite for a fall festival.

"I couldn't be happier with the turnout," said Mayor Dollin. "Everybody's smiling everybody's having a wonderful time, little wee ones to seniors and everyone in between. Our town square is the perfect spot for this type of activation, and it's just a wonderful day."

Daniella Severino, the Town's arts, culture and events specialist, says the goal of 'InnisFALL' is to support local.

"We'd like to support local vendors and local musicians to really get the chance to showcase all of their work and so the community can get to see what the Town of Innisfil has to offer," said Severino.

Town staff will be hosting their annual Winter Weekends in February and are planning for 'InnisFALL' to return as an annual festival next year.
