What is BunFest?
BunFest was created by Rabbit Rescue Inc. as an educational exposition and fundraiser. Our aim is to educate pet rabbit owners regarding everything related to bunny guardianship and offer advice, information and support. Throughout our venue you will find all kinds of fantastic and fun areas of interest, so take your time to explore them all!
BunFest is geared specifically towards rabbits that are house pets. BunFest does not endorse, support or recommend the breeding or showing of rabbits. Our Event and information focuses on keeping your rabbit happy and healthy in a loving home environment – we believe rabbits deserve to be part of the family!
How much is admission?
Admission to BunFest is $8, with 100% of the proceeds going to help the animals in Rabbit Rescue’s care.
Can I bring my bunny?
Of course! There are lots of fun things for you to do with your bunny at BunFest, but please take a few things into consideration. While we would love to see you and your rabbit at BunFest, please keep in mind that this Event can be crowded, noisy and stressful for some bunnies. No one knows your bunny as well as you do so if you think that BunFest might be too much for your rabbit to handle, please leave them at home. But make sure you pick up lots of bunny stuff to make it up to them! Please refer to our Rules page for additional information.
What is happening throughout the day?
We have a BunSpa, Glamour Shots, bunny merchandise, a bunny cafe and lounge, a silent auction, special guests and vendors and so much more! Also, please see below for a list of events and seminars happening throughout the day that you won’t want to miss!

Our Adoption Screening process does not allow for same-day adoptions, but you can fill out an application to adopt on BunFest day.

The Toronto Humane Society Special Species Department and Hoppy Hearts will have adoptable rabbits who are looking for new, forever homes. Guelph Rat Save will also be on-site if you’re looking to adopt a special small friend. If you are hoping to find a new friend at BunFest, please bring at least two pieces of government-issued I.D. and cash for the adoption fees. Adoption fees and screening processes vary by shelter/rescue and are at their sole discretion, so please come prepared. There is no ATM on-site.
