Extremely dissaponted to find so many shops and restaurants closed on a Monday afternoon two weeks before christmas. I understand the difficulties with staffing since the pandemic, I too work in the service industry, however, I would love to see the Orillia BIA really promote and improve advertising for christmas shopping during the month of December by working with the business for better hours of operation, and working with the town to eliminate parking fees. I want to support the downtown, but i can't do that if the stores are closed two days a week and in the evenings.
It was a nice day out water is refreshing view is outstanding, allot of food options, i love the docks and the park
Downtown Orillia is a gem. I hadn't been here for years ! The Mariposa bakery is a wonderful destination where u will have a hard time deciding on which pastry, tart, cake , or monster donut to enjoy- I've never been a kid in a candy store like this since I was a kid! I'm in my 60s now and very hard to impress!
The sunny Saturday afternoon we arrived there was a very skilled street busker with a guitar singing various hit tunes of the 1970s including Canadian rock and folk classics - very much in the Gordon Lightfoot style. He didn't cover a Lightfoot tune in the short time we were there but I'm confident he does Lightfoot justice when he does.
The town of Orillia's project to commemorate Gordon Lightfoot with various artists commemorative paintings on guitar shaped canvasses that lined both sides of the street was EXTREMELY moving.
Way to go Orillia !!! I'm so proud how you honour your native son!
Ps: planning a fall leaves tour in Simcoe co & Muskoka this fall first stop Downtown Orillia and the Mariposa bakery !

Went to the Cloud Gallery as I know the owners very well. Beautiful Gallery and local/Ontario painters. I like shopping local. Way to go Mark and Blake.👍👍
It's a fantastic historical downtown. There are many restaurants and feature stores. It's also connecting with waterfront. There are tons of century buildings. Many churches.
One of my favourite towns to visit, I love the rich downtown area which is steeped in history and has some wonderful shops and restaurants, People are friendly here, I will definitely return here.
A quaint little town with a rich history and amazing people. You'll find a little bit of everything in the Downtown. I highly recommend Alley Cat Records!
