Honouring Arts is a vibrant event featuring an artisan and artist market and exhibitions.
Vendor Alley will showcase the incredible talents of active and retired military personnel, first responders, hospital practitioners, and others who serve our communities. Many of them use art or crafts as a way to cope with mental health challenges or as a second career, and we want to support and celebrate their creativity.
In addition to the market, the festival will feature exhibitors from these same communities, as well as artistic performances and immersive experiences led by various artists. Community groups that share our core values and are dedicated to supporting these individuals will also be present, offering their services and connecting with you.
To accommodate artists from farther away who wish to share their work, we will include an online gallery as part of the event, welcoming creators from across Canada.
From live music and handcrafted goods to original artwork and unique creations, this festival is a true celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover locally made treasures, support those who serve, and connect with artists across various mediums, 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, explore exhibitions, enjoy live music, connect with others, savor delicious food, or simply relax by the fire, Honouring Arts is a celebration you won’t want to miss. Join us in recognizing and honoring the creative spirit of those who serve, while supporting local talent and enjoying a memorable day with your community
