Rebranded, Reimagined & Rooted in Tradition
The Township of McNab/Braeside invites you to experience a rebranded HerbFest, a cherished community tradition that has been part of our Township for over a decade, now refreshed with a stronger focus on family fun while keeping the spirit you know and love alive.
Set on the picturesque grounds of the historic Waba Cottage Museum & Gardens in White Lake, HerbFest continues to celebrate healthy living, local makers, and community connection, while growing into a more vibrant, inclusive festival for all ages.
What’s New (and What You Love!)
- 50+ local vendors
- Delicious food trucks serving up festival favourites
- Live music featuring talented local performers
- A lively beer tent
- A family-focused kids’ area with bouncy castles, games, and activities
Whether you’ve attended HerbFest for years or you’re joining us for the first time, you’ll experience a festival that honours its roots while embracing fresh energy, welcoming visitors from across the Ottawa Valley and beyond.
Family-friendly and accessible, with free on-site parking, accessible parking and washroom facilities, plus additional portable washrooms for guest comfort.
Rain or shine, we’re committed to making HerbFest 2026 our best year yet, so mark your calendars and come celebrate a tradition that continues to grow with our community.
