The Tom Zombie Festival is Set To Keep Our Region Safe for Another Year!

On September 27th there will be a very unique event happening in downtown St. Thomas. On the grounds of the Elgin County Railway Museum the 2nd Annual, St. Thomas Tom Zombie Festival will be held. This event is free to attend, starts at 12:00pm and ends at 10:00pm.

The amount of buzz online is “mind blowing…” according to Bryan Bakker, owner of local video production company, Bizbio and creator and developer behind the event. “The biggest thing of course is the Harlequin sponsored visit of Vincent M. Ward, who played Oscar on the highest rated TV Series going these days, AMC’s The Walking Dead. Vincent will be signing autographs and taking pictures with fans right here in our very own city.”

But there is more than just a cool celebrity visit happening that day of course. 

According to Bakker the festival is the only way we can protect our town and region from the Tom Zombie Curse. “The Legend of Tom Zombie goes back over two-hundred years and has plagued South-Western Ontario in innumerable ways ever since,” says Bakker.
