About Trail Mix

Trail Mix merges local music with Brantford’s beautiful trail system. Trail users can look for the signs posted on the kilometre markers along the 10km stretch of trail between Hardy Road and River Road. Each sign includes a unique QR code that can be scanned using a smartphone to gain access to free curated playlists featuring songs by local artists. There are a total of ten playlists along the trail, each with three songs and approximately 10-12 minutes long, which allows the trail user to continue discovering local music during the duration of their hike. The new 2025 Trail Mix playlist will be released on World Trails Day on Saturday, June 7, 2025. To learn more, visit www.DiscoverBrantford.ca/TrailMix
