Crystal Beach Art Festival
The 2009 Crystal Beach Art Festival is now a part of our rich history. Though the weather was less than perfect to say the least both the artists and those that came out to support them made this years event another success. We had 41 artists from all over Southern Ontario and Western New York which is 7 more than the previous year. The event is growing each year and we hope that soon it will become a two day event. Many thanks to the Fort Erie Arts Council for bringing this wonderful event to our community.

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.
