Orangeville welcomes visitors with new guide
Warm welcomes are in our nature and the Town of Orangeville invites tourists to discover our vibrant community with a new Visitor Guide.

The four season publication introduces Orangeville's impressive collection of sights and activities. The charm and character of our downtown is featured along with the many shopping and dining options. Theatre Orangeville's live performances in the historic Opera House take centre stage and the Town's public art collection is showcased. Not to be missed, the scenic landscape and outdoor amenities in and around Orangeville are included with details about the wide selection of possible recreational pursuits.

The publication is a joint project between the Town's Economic Development & Culture office and the Orangeville Business Improvement Area (BIA).
