‘The Ward’: the unique and historic part of Guelph bordered by Elizabeth, Victoria, and the Eramosa River has become a vibrant and creative centre for artists and innovators.

A remarkable group of those Ward creatives have gathered to share the wonders of  their ‘hood in a one-day festival Saturday Sept. 1st, making use of 20 different venues, all easily walkable or bikeable.

Music, visual art, theatre, workshops, food, a craft market, walking, cycling and paddling tours, kid’s activities and more will make this a day to remember.  With the ‘hub’ for the fest centred around the Double Rainbow Café at Arthur and Ontario Streets, the many performances and activities culminate in an evening  performance featuring artists who have appeared during the day. All the artists live or work in the ward!

With the map and schedule provided you’ll see the day’s festivities unfold.
