Lost Arts Festival
Note: dense drifting smoke from active forest fires across Ontario has prompted widespread Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) alerts and heat warnings for the region. Due to this, many outdoor events have been postponed or cancelled. Due to the nature of event listings on our website real time updates may not have been made. Please view the events website or consult their social media for the most accurate event status.
Discover creativity, craftsmanship, and heritage at the Lost Arts Festival held at the scenic John R. Park Homestead Conservation Area. This unique summer event brings history to life through 19th-century craft demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and engaging “Imagination Stations” designed especially for children.
Visitors can meet local artisans, browse and shop handmade goods, enjoy livestock displays, and tour the beautifully restored historic home of John and Amelia Park, all while experiencing the charm of a traditional countryside setting. With locally made food available on-site, this family-friendly festival offers a memorable blend of history, art, and community.
