Banbury cakes are made of pastry, filled with currants and spices, and look a little bit like a flat croissant.

Canals have been a central point of Banbury's history, and so it's no surprise that the Banbury Canal Day is one of the most important events in the town's year. Townspeople and visitors celebrate the history of the canal, with stalls, music and entertainment lining either side of the waterway. The festivities usually spill out into The Mill Arts Centre and Spiceball Park, with workshops, go-karting, and falconry displays. Summer brings the Banbury and District Show , a fun-filled day in Spiceball Park where visitors can see live music, watch the dog show, try out the rides at the funfair, and have a refreshing drink in the beer tent.
Another summer highlight is the Flower and Produce Show , a large local show where exhibitors display their work in a number of different categories. As well as the more traditional prizes for fruits, vegetables and flower arrangements, there are sections for crafts, photography, and the 'Children's Variety' category, which often has some surprising contributions. For those who've worked up an appetite at the Flower and Produce Show, the Banbury Food Fair runs on the same day, and holds a huge number of stalls with a range of goods that you wouldn't expect from a small town.
Foodies can find everything from bespoke pies to smoked garlic, by way of wines, chutneys, and, of course, fudge. There are also stalls selling hot food, including Mexican dishes, curries, bratwurst, and vegetarian and vegan meals. The Old Town Summer Party and Street Organ Festival brings the summer to an end, with street organists playing at several locations all around town.
Later in autumn, there is the Banbury Michaelmas Fair , one of the town's busiest events of the year. This charter fair runs for three days, with rides and stalls open till late into the night. The Christmas Lights Festival takes place on the last Sunday in November, and rounds off the year in spectacular style. There's music, rides, and a visit from Santa, all building up to the main event - the switching on of the town's Christmas lights.
