There’s so much to do, you’re going to need all year!
While away a cold evening in a cosy theatre enjoying a movie or play or combine the best of both worlds
at a mystery dinner theatre.
Enjoy the great outdoors as you hike one of our scenic trails under the warm summer sun.
Cheer your favourite horse across the finish line (maybe you’ll win a few bucks), or try your hand at the slots.
Take in the beautiful fall foliage as you drive along The Butter Tart Trail™ through some of the many
scenic villages that make up our County, stopping now and again to sample delicious home-made tarts.
Explore our history or discover your own at one of our museums or archives.
With theatres, markets, galleries and everything in between, you’ll never run out of things to do in Wellington County.
