Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Fall Fest 2025 81 Grid Series


This series offers a variety of DT ratings throughout Brantford and Brant County—be prepared for almost anything. These caches are placed for GCAX1X1 Fall Fest 2025, but they are not part of the GeoChallenge and are NOT challenge caches. Some will be quick park-and-grabs, while others may involve longer hikes or TOTTs. Please check each cache’s description and attributes, and do not attempt anything beyond your comfort zone. These caches are designed to appeal to a wide variety of cachers of all levels.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will need to solve a puzzle to locate the container and sign the log.

The cache is a gold bison tube with only a logbook inside. Please bring a writing instrument to sign the log and replace the cache as you found it.

The Puzzle:

Canada is a country full of vibrant celebrations, from rodeos to comedy, music to culture. From the Calgary Stampede to Carnaval de Québec, from the Montreal Jazz Festival to Ottawa Winterlude, Canadians know how to throw an unforgettable event. Each festival has its own story, traditions, and unique flair that make it a must-see experience.

Now it’s time for a little armchair festival hopping! Buckle up as we explore some of Canada’s most famous and iconic events. Along the way, you’ll be given a series of clues. Each one describes a different Canadian event — your mission is to figure out “What event am I?”.

Crack the clues, jot down your answers, and follow the trail to uncover the location of the final container. The adventure begins here — let’s see how well you really know Canada’s festival scene!

I started in 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I am one of North America's most significant film festivals.
I showcase over 300 films from more than 70 countries.
I attract filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts worldwide.
What am I?

If this decribes the Vancouver International Film Festival - you can find the cache at N 43 05.945 W 080 04.874
If this decribes the Toronto International Film Festival - you can find the cache at N 43 05.922 W 080 04.889
If this describes the Calgary International Film Festival - you can find the cache at N 43 05.967 W 0850 04.902

Please Note: The caches in this FF25 series are located along the Grand River. You will require a boat to access these caches. In general, a T4 means you can paddle up to the cache in a kayak and sign the log without reaching or using a tool. A T4.5 cache means you can retrieve it from a canoe or kayak but you may need a grabber or reaching pole. A T5 cache means you need to get out of your boat to search for the cache, use teamwork to retrieve the cache, or climb a tree. Please do not do anything outside of your comfort zone and take all necessary precautions, including bringing all required safety gear with you, at all times. 

A paid parking location and a free parking/launch location (along Front St in Onondaga) are waypointed.
