35th Annual Outdoor Crafts Festival – CANCELLED

It is after deep consideration that we have decided to cancel the Bruce Museum's Outdoor Crafts Festival scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17. The health and safety of you, your families, our community, and our artists is our primary concern during this challenging global health emergency.

We look forward to welcoming you in the fall at our 39th Annual Outdoor Arts Festival.
