Local art, indoors, just as the weather turns. Friends of Crystal Beach host Winter Artfest at the Fort Erie Leisureplex from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 7th.
Beach season is over. Art season isn't.
Friends of Crystal Beach, the community group behind Crystal Beach's summer concerts, is heading indoors for Winter Artfest on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's at the Fort Erie Leisureplex, 3 Municipal Centre Drive in Fort Erie.
An art show in early November is good timing, too: it's an early chance to find a one-of-a-kind gift before the holiday rush.
In the know
