Open Air Weekends are back! Recently awarded “Best Street Festival“ at the Best of Windsor Essex Awards, and “The Most Wonderful Event of the Year” by the Biz X Awards.
Night Markets on Fridays, free yoga in the park on Sundays, bagpipe parades on select Saturdays, and of course our local shopping, restaurant patios, and live entertainment!

So much to see and do in Amherstburg!
