REASONS TO VISIT THE COUNTY #5:
Rare gem may enthrall you forever
Prince Edward County is becoming recognized throughout Canada as a thriving creative, rural economy. Home to an impressive roster of artists, media moguls, television and movie producers, the County is a top ten employer of artists in the province per capita.
The burgeoning creative industry of the County encouraged the creation of The Arts Trail. Sister to the Taste Trail, the Arts Trail enables visitors to discover more than 30 studios and galleries inhabited by painters, potters, blacksmiths, glassblowers, photographers and jewelry-makers. Visit the jewel of Picton, the historic Regent Theatre and see a show in one of few remaining Edwardian opera houses. Take in a Canadian play courtesy of Prince Edward County’s Festival Players, or meander through studios and galleries in search for that perfect piece.
From cheese and wine and craft beer, from farm to table, from outdoor adventure to artistic introspection, Prince Edward County is a rare gem waiting to be explored. We can’t guarantee, however, that you’ll want to leave once you get here. Are you willing to take the risk?
