Prince Edward County is to Ontario what Saltspring Island is to British Columbia: a mecca for artists from all walks of life. The County, as it is affectionately called, is home to the Regent Theatre which shows movies and showcases live performances, the Prince Edward County Arts Council, and the Prince Edward County Quilters' Guild to name a few.

Without a doubt, you won't be able to visit the hundreds of local artisan shops on a single day trip. It would take much longer than that to see all the antique and craft shops, glasswork studios, painters' galleries, pottery places, sculptors' exhibits, and museums.

And, if you time it right, you can attend any or all of the special events that might interest you such as live performances at the Regent Theatre and Festival Players, Art in the County, Art on the Fence, Music in Motion, Jazz Festival, Authors Festival, Antique Fair, the Studio and Gallery Tour, or any of the numerous arts and crafts shows and perhaps even a Strawberry or Raspberry Social.

Prince Edward County is truly an artist's paradise and once you've been there, you, too, will want to come back again and again. Come see for yourself why the County's rural charm and breathtaking beauty have so inspired those that now call the County home.
