If you’re anything like us, you’re always looking for fun family activities. Fall is a magical season in Quinte, Belleville and Prince Edward County, and there's no better place to experience its beauty and celebrate the changing seasons, than here in our backyard.
But ideas can be dry and Google rarely gives you the local scoop on what’s happening, so we put together 5 fun family activities to do this fall.

7:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m.
Stirling Festival Theatre
Forget the pumpkin patch, check out the Popovich Pet Comedy Circus – returning to Stirling Ontario for the first time in 4 years. This entertaining family show features more than 30 house cats, dogs, parrots, and even a miniature horse! The best part is – all performing pets are rescues, coming from animal shelters and now enjoying the limelight with host Gregory Popovich.
Did we mention this act is world-famous? Touring more than 20 countries including France, Israel, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Germany, Belgium and Holland – come see what makes this Las Vegas show a family favourite!
Best Time to Visit - May-November
Bleasdell Boulder Conservation
On a completely different note – did you know our backyard is home to one of the largest known glacial erratics in North America? Yeah, it’s supposed to be like 2.3 billion years old. The boulder itself is literally two stories high.
You’ll find the Bleasdell Boulder Conservation just north of Quinte West bordering the Trent River. It’s a short hike, only 30 minutes, so if you’ve got little ones – this might be the perfect spot on a sunny fall afternoon before it gets too cold. Learn more about it here.
Date: October 22nd, 2023
Time: Doors open 2:30 p.m.
Location: Regent Theatre, Main Street, Picton
Do you remember the classic family film, Fly Away Home? We sure do. On October 22, 2023 (Sunday afternoon!) you and your family can come enjoy a free movie at the Regent Theatre in Picton. Before the movie, the “Friends of South Shore” organization will be sharing some cool bird facts and how locals can help protect the County’s South Shore and bird habitats. Then of course, you can enjoy the movie!

Bring the kids to decorate a pumpkin while you sip pumpkin cinnamon cider and eat oat bread topped with pumpkin butter. Get your ticket here.
