On Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30, Amherstburg will once again participate in the national Culture Days program.

All across Canada, municipalities and cultural organizations invite residents and visitors to engage in thousands of free activities and performances that showcase and highlight the rich history and culture of each independent city or town.

In Amherstburg, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day, guests are encouraged to enjoy hands-on activities, a variety of art mediums, and to revel in a number of heritage-based and cultural expressions. This year includes a marine exhibit at The Gibson Gallery, the Provincial Marine at the Commissariat exhibit, a performance by the Spirit of the Four Directions Singers, a narrative history walking tour by local historian Robert Honor, and on-site painting by the Windsor Essex Plein Air Artists in Kings Navy Yard Park and more!

“Amherstburg is always pleased to participate in the national celebration of Canadian culture,” says Mayor Aldo DiCarlo. “Amherstburg is a hub for Canadian history and culture. It’s a great time to explore what we have to offer at many of our local sites.”
