Welcome American Friends

Every year, many American visitors are attracted to Mariposa Folk Festival. Located in Lake Country, just north of Toronto, Ontario, the host community of Orillia is a great summer destination, and it is convenient to several border crossings between the United States and Canada. 

Crossing the Border is Easy

American visitors can enter Canada with little fuss. No visa is required, and millions of Americans cross the border into Canada each and every year. For information about the requirements for American visitors to enter Canada, click here.

The American Dollar has Higher Buying Power in Canada

The value of the U.S. dollar is higher than the Canadian dollar, so it's like getting a big discount on everything you purchase and do during your visit to Canada. To calculate the conversion rate for exchanging U.S. dollars into Canadians dollars, click here. There's no need to exchange your money or bring lots with you. Your bank card will work in most bank machines, and the conversion to Canadian dollars will be automatically calculated. Of course, all major credit cards are accepted too.
