Taste of the Valley is an indoor/outdoor market event series that celebrates all things grown, made and created within Renfrew County. The events showcase a variety of vendors representing farmers, food and beverage producers, artists and artisans from across Renfrew County and the City of Pembroke.

The events are promoted to residents and visitors across the Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario and offer free admission.
Vendors interested in participating at Taste of the Valley in 2023 must submit a vendor application by Friday, July 7, 2023. Vendor fees, guidelines and application form is available online at www.TOTV.ca.
