FARMERS, PAINTERS AND POETS

The marketplace in full swing at the Port Hope Arts Festival.

EVENT PORT HOPE 

SUMMER FESTIVAL OF ART AND FARM FRESH GOODNESS

FOOD, FUN AND CREATIVITY AT MEMORIAL PARK AUGUST 8

When you partner a farmers market with an arts marketplace and all sorts of creative types, it's a pretty cool party! The Port Hope Arts Festival in August shows off our artsy side with music performers in the bandshell at Memorial Park, gourmet candy floss (yes, really!), balloon making on demand, and handson events like crafting and scavenger hunts. Lots of kid fun and great barbecue for the family. Just bring your sunscreen and make a day of it.

Next door, the long-loved art and farm vendor market behind Town Hall gets even bigger for this special Saturday event. You'll find local and regional handcrafted goods like jewelry, art cards, wall hangings and pottery for gifts and self-appreciation. And booths are overflowing with farm vegetables, fruits, flowers and amazing preserves and pies. You want pie for breakfast? This is the place to get it. Come mingle with the locals and make some new friends.
