From bird migration and urban planning to craft beer, cemeteries, architecture, and community storytelling, this year’s festival covers a wide range of topics.

You might find yourself learning about the Underground Railroad one day, sketching future neighbourhoods the next, or exploring the hidden stories behind everyday places across Windsor and Essex County.
 

Every event is shaped by the people who host it, offering perspectives and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
