The 2007 Crystal Beach Art Festival was a tremendous success. There were artists present from Toronto, Harwood, Waterford, London, Dover, Burlington, Caistor Centre, Buffalo, Missouri, Vineland, St. Catherines, Welland, Niagara Falls, along with the Greater Fort Erie area. We had well over a thousand people come through the grounds of Waterfront Park. We had loads of positive comments about the quality of the artists work, the beauty of the lakeside venue, the organization of the event and the general hospitality of the community from the judges, artists, sponsors and visitors to the Festival. Our "hats are off" to the Fort Erie Arts Council for bringing this terrific cultural event to our Crystal Beach community.
