Agriculture in the City - Burlington

Discover... Agriculture in the City

Agriculture in the City is a free, family oriented, urban festival that explores how agriculture is all around us, everyday.

In 2012, more than 20,000 people visited Agriculture in the City at the Burlington Mall and learned the important role food and farming plays in the province.

Please take a moment to view our photo highlights. We look forward to seeing you at a future Agriculture in the City. Please visit this site for details about the next event.
