Culture

It's so easy to immerse yourself in the history and creativity of BruceGreySimcoe.  More than just a pretty landscape, a thriving art scene lives here.  Museums, art galleries and studios can be found tucked here and there in small communities, in downtown cores and off the beaten path. Many are only open seasonally, so check ahead for hours of operation.

Big events happen in small places. World-class entertainment takes to the stage in intimate venues like Meaford Hall, the Orillia Opera House and the Historic Gayety Theatre. Prefer a bigger concert experience? Music festivals like Boots and Hearts, the Mariposa Folk Festival, Kempenfest and Summerfolk may be just the ticket. Big names hit the big stage at Casino Rama and there's a growing pool of local talent performing at places like the Heartwood Concert Hall, the Corner Cafe and Blue Mountain Village.

If live theatre is your thing, small venues across the region are hosts to plays and performances put on by small theatre groups.

Historic sites such as Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and museums with interactive exhibits and activities make history come alive and entice youngsters to learn.
