Ontario Culture Days

Prince Edward County will be among 19 municipalities that will serve as a provincial festival hub during the nation-wide festival taking place between September 18 to October 4, 2026. Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture. At the end of each September, millions of people attend thousands of free participatory arts and culture events across the country both in-person and online. Culture Days programs invite the public to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of arts and culture in our communities.

As Prince Edward County’s only member-driven arts service organization, County Arts has brought individual event organizers into a community campaign to help expand audience reach through targeted marketing initiatives in partnership with Ontario Culture Days.

During Ontario Culture Days 2026, visitors can explore one of Ontario’s longest‑running studio tours — the PEC Studio Tour — or catch a free screening at one of Canada’s newest film festivals, the County Adaptation Film Festival. The Prince Edward County Chamber Music Festival will present concerts by award‑winning classical musicians, while hands‑on creative workshops continue to flourish at the County Arts Lab. The County is also home to the expansive outdoor sculpture garden at Huff Estates Winery, several historic museums, and a burgeoning public art scene that continues to grow each year. Add to this our distinct farm‑to‑table culture and one‑of‑a‑kind local businesses, and it becomes clear: creativity is at the heart of our community.
