Event Details:

The Municipality of Port Hope and our community partners are hosting the Port Hope Arts Festival on Saturday August 10. Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the event will feature a 10-Minute Play Series, Art Around Town, an outdoor vendor market, wagon rides, and a community gathering in the park. You can expect activities for the kids, live music, food vendors and other fun surprises! That evening, you are going to want to make sure you have tickets to the Capitol Theatre's Gabs Sings Babs; a love letter from one artist to another! Follow the facebook event page and Festival website for full program of events. The Municipality recognizes August as Arts Month. Our vision for Arts Month is to encourage an organic community celebration of the arts by extending an open invitation to get creative and curious. During Arts Month, we empower residents, organizations and businesses to present activities, digital content or displays that engage folks in experiences that educate, inspire, and connect us to a variety of artistic mediums. Participation could be private, and may include reaching out to a local artist to tell them you admire their talents, purchasing a unique art piece, trying your hand at or experiencing a new art form. Participation could also be more public, like hosting a workshop, sharing a work-in-progress or tips online. Ultimately, the goal is to have some creative, community fun.
