Share
At Honouring Arts, we believe that art is a universal language—one that transcends professions, experiences, and challenges. This unique festival is a heartfelt tribute to the remarkable creativity of those who dedicate their lives to service.
This event shines a spotlight on the talents and stories of individuals who have given so much to their communities. Honouring Arts is more than just an art festival; it's a celebration of resilience, imagination, community and the transformative power of artistic expression.
Art by Those Who Serve, Shared with Everyone
Honouring Arts is a vibrant event that features a local artisan and artist market showcasing the incredible talents of first responders, veterans, hospital practitioners and those who serve our communities. From music, handcrafted goods and original artwork, to unique creations, this festival is a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. This is a wonderful opportunity to shop for unique, locally made treasures, support those who serve, and meet artists who work with various mediums and forms of expression, including musicians, poets, authors, and other creators.
But that's just the beginning! The festival also brings together live music, delicious BBQ by the incredible pit-master Danny Gernon from Danger’s Smokehouse, and the warmth of a crackling bonfire to create an atmosphere of connection and joy.
Whether you’re here to shop, enjoy the music, create connections, savor great food, or simply relax by the fire, Honouring Arts is a celebration you don’t want to miss. Join us in recognizing and celebrating the creative spirit of those who serve while supporting local talent and enjoying a memorable day with your community.
