The Westport Holiday Shop ‘N Hop Weekend 01 – Day 01

The Westport Holiday Shop ‘N Hop is a local event bringing crafters, artisans, bakers, shops, businesses and the community together during the holiday season.

The Westport Market: Summer 2022

Have you been to the Westport Market? Every Saturday from 9am – 2pm, local artisans, farmers, bakers and craftspeople gather to display and sell their latest creations. With over 35 vendors this past Saturday, it was a great time to get out and document the event. The sun was shining, the temperature just right. A perfect day to see some smiling faces. Below are some images I took of the event. As you can see, there is pretty much something for everyone. The Westport Market runs every Saturday until Labour Day weekend.

Canada Day 2022

Canada Day festivities were in full swing yesterday in Westport. Organized by the Royal Canadian Legion Upper Rideau Branch 542, with the help of many other community members and organizations in Westport, the day was chalked full of events and activities. It was exciting to see so many familiar faces out and about enjoying the day. Below are some photos from the Canada Day Breakfast where the Westport Art Council revealed the artists’ Adirondack chairs as part of their Art on the Street series. The Canada Day bike parade was also not to be missed. Kids (and parents alike) enjoyed...

Westporch Festival 2021

As I look out my office window today, one week ago from Westporch Fest, I can't help but acknowledge how lucky we got. The damp, drizzly rain that is blanketing the village today, could have been last Saturday, effectively killing our crack at...
