A weekend for the arts in Amherstburg. ART by the RIVER, which is held annually the weekend before Labour Day weekend, is the major fundraiser for the Gibson Gallery.
The Arts and Crafts Festival, which was first held in 1967, is Essex County’s original Arts and Crafts Show which has grown into an end of summer tradition in Amherstburg, attracting 170 artists and artisans from across Ontario.
2024 will be the 57th year for the event which will run on both Saturday and Sunday.
