A pair of local festivals are getting some provincial recognition.

The Dresden Night Market made the list of the Top 100 Events by Festivals and Events Ontario, and the inaugural Crowfest in downtown Chatham was named Best New Festival with a budget of $100,000-$500,000.

The honourees were recognized at this week’s FEO “Celebrate” conference in Niagara Falls.

This is the first time the Festivals and Events awards have been handed out since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
