Tourism Excellence Award

November 10, 2026

On November 6, Cornwall Tourism proudly presented the Tourism Excellence Award to DevFest, at the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards, recognizing the festival’s outstanding contribution to tourism, community engagement, and visitor experiences in Cornwall.

Since its launch, DevFest has quickly established itself as a premier summer event, bringing together live music, local food, entertainment, and thousands of visitors along Cornwall’s waterfront. Hosted by the DEV Hotel & Conference Centre, the festival showcases acclaimed Canadian musical acts while creating economic benefits for local businesses and enhancing Cornwall’s reputation as a vibrant destination for tourism and culture.

The Tourism Excellence Award celebrates organizations and events that demonstrate innovation, visitor appeal, and a positive impact on Cornwall’s tourism industry. Through its commitment to delivering a high-quality festival experience and attracting visitors from across the region, DevFest has become a standout event on Cornwall’s annual tourism calendar.

Cornwall Tourism congratulates the DevFest organizing team, partners, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters whose efforts have helped make the festival a growing success and a valuable contributor to the community.
