Are you looking for something to do EVERY weekend this summer? Amherstburg has you covered! The streets are closed every weekend until Labour Day, and we will be dancing in the streets!
Open Air was recently awarded “Best Street Festival” at the Best of Windsor Essex Awards, and “The Most Wonderful Event of the Year” at the Biz X Awards, so you do not want to miss out!
Night Markets on Fridays, musical guests Saturdays, free yoga in the park on Sundays, and much more.
Summer is almost over, but we have you covered all year round. Check out our Staff Picks section next time you visit the bookshop.
Our booksellers love to read, and each of us enjoys books from different genres. Let us help you select your next Summer Pick!
And if you missed it, you can read more about each bookseller in our most recent blog post.
