About

This year Sensational Elora will be featuring an African Drum Circle where attendees can participate; Musician and Multi-Instrumentalist Babarinde Williams (fondly known as “Baba”) is an award-winning motivational speaker, singer, recording artist, producer, ethnomusicologist, music educator, music director and writer who has been featured on Tedtalks and other professional and academic forums. Baba has not only led large drumming events at various institutions but also led multi-generational family groups in back yards and living rooms. Years of after-school drumming programs in the Dufferin-Eglington areas and numerous assemblies and workshop events in schools, churches, libraries, and other institutions contribute to Babarinde’s experience as a facilitator. Don't miss this special event under the big tent, rain or shine.

Sensational Elora

We mobilize awareness about food insecurity by creating fun and welcoming events that entertain and inspire.

Our annual award-winning Festival organizes events throughout the year featuring the renowned music, art, drama, film, food, scenery, and architecture of historic Elora, culminating in our core festival events running throughout Thanksgiving weekend, including our Empty Bowls project, Pumpkin Day, and the Sensational Soup-off, raising money and awareness for the fight against poverty and hunger throughout Centre Wellington.

We strive to work with a wide variety of community partners to create fabulous events that showcase what Centre Wellington area has to offer. All our programming is designed to entice all of the senses. To accomplish that our events incorporate food and drink, provided by local restaurants, caterers, growers, and retailers.
