Welcome to Fall Fest 2025!
Join us in beautiful Brant County, Ontario at the Burford Fairgrounds for a fun weekend of geocaching goodness!
Enjoy 4 days of fun and activities at the fairgrounds including on-site camping, evening campfires in the derby ring, Adventure Labs, geocoin/tag trading, and lots of geocaching comraderie. Celebrate 25 years of geocaching with a variety of events, participate in some of the many planned activities on site or venture out to find a collection of new event caches for your chance to win some fantastic prizes.
Beginning Thursday morning (9/25/25), you can pick up your event game card at Event HQ to participate in the optional GeoChallenge Side Quest. There is no requirement to participate in the challenge to attend the event.
