Located on Highway 2 Thamesford is a gateway community to Oxford County.  The community is home to several Bed & Breakfasts and places to grab a bite to eat.  You will also find basic ammenities like banking, an LCBO and convenience stores. Grab a bite to eat and then take a stroll in Grace Patterson Park or Lions River Parkway. If the temperature is high cool off in the Thamesford Outdoor Pool.

Thamesford has great community spirit, which can be seen in their annual Calithumpian event, held every Victoria Day weekend.  This event started out just as Calithumpian is defined - a noisy boisterous parade.  Over the decades this event has grown grown into annual community event with fireworks, midway, music, great food and entertainment.
