Street Fair and Grand Opening, May 10, 2025, on Elizabeth Walk

Monday, April 14, 2025, the Elliot Lake City Council granted us permission to close Elizabeth Walk from Ontario to the Post Office.  Our Street Fair will run from 10 AM to 4 PM, but the street will be closed from 9 to 5 to allow for set-up and take-down.

The Grand Opening of Elliot Lake Arts & Heritage Centre
We have been welcoming guests since December, but May 10th, is our official grand opening. The ribbon cutting ceremony begins at 10 AM.  His Worship Mayor Andrew Wannan will do the honours.

The Agenda
After the opening ceremony, throughout the day, you and your family can participate in a number of  activities:

• At the Elliot Lake Arts Club craft table, you can make Mother's Day cards for free.
• There will be free performances scheduled by local entertainers.
• Face-painting will be available.
• You can make a small tree for the Model Railroad Club to add to their track layout.
• Our neighbours will sell their wares on tables in front of their shops.
• You can tour the Arts Centre to see creators demonstrating a variety of skills - weaving, painting, stained-glass, and pottery.
• You can explore the ARIEL Arts Space and see the Linda Finn retrospective before it leaves.

Other plans?
We have invited a local charity to set up a grill to serve hot dogs and hamburgers.  All the money raised will go to a good cause in the community.

What about the weather?
The Opening Ceremony will go rain or shine.  If it rains, we will move as many activities as possible into the Elliot Lake Arts and Heritage Centre.  So make plans to come and enjoy a carnival atmosphere during our first ever ELAHC street fair.
