1. The Works Art & Design Festival

The Buzz -- During this 13-day festival, works from a broad range of Canadian and international artists are displayed throughout nearly 30 traditional and non-traditional spaces (banks, hotels, art galleries, libraries, government buildings) in and around Sir Winston Churchill Square. The square itself is transformed into a festival site, with a plethora of arts and crafts booths, food and beverage vendors, activities for kids, artist demonstrations, and concerts. Most of the exhibit sites are open from 11am-9pm; specific details are included in the festival program.
