Here is a quick snapshot of what’s happening around town the next 48 hours.
STUFF TO DO
Wednesday: Starting at 10 a.m., Built Legacy: The Clench Family offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of one of Cobourg’s most influential families and the lasting impact they had on the community’s growth and development. History buffs and curious visitors alike can explore the exhibition and uncover the stories behind some of the town’s most familiar landmarks at the Art Gallery of Northumberland in Victoria Hall, 55 King Street West in Cobourg.
Wednesday: Starting at 2 p.m., Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, who opened their homes and hearts to thousands of stranded airline passengers in the days following September 11. Filled with unforgettable music, humour, and moments of extraordinary kindness, it’s the kind of show that will stay with you long after the curtain falls at the Cameco Capitol Arts Centre in Port Hope.
Thursday: Starting at 11 a.m., Kids Learn to Knit is a wonderful introduction to a skill that can last a lifetime, giving young crafters a chance to learn the basics while creating something with their own hands. With plenty of encouragement along the way, it’s a fun and relaxing way to build creativity and confidence at Yarn It! on Elgin Street East in Cobourg.
Thursday: Starting at 6 p.m., the Road To Cultivate Concert Series brings another evening of outstanding Canadian music, local food vendors, and a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for spending time with family and friends. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, browse the Port Hope Makers’ Market before the show, and enjoy an unforgettable night of live entertainment at the Memorial Park Bandshell, 44 Queen Street in Port Hope.
