FREE TO ATTEND! Returning this year on October 17th and 18th at the Small Arms Inspection Building. Experience the vibrant creativity of Mississauga at the Lakeshore Art Trail! This two-day art show and sale features a diverse collection of local artwork, along with exciting activities for all ages. From hands-on workshops and artist talks to live demonstrations and music, there’s something for everyone.Established in 1999, the Lakeshore Art Trail began as a gathering of local artists showcasing their talents from their own studios. Over time, it has transformed into a beloved community affair, with artists teaming up with nearby small businesses, libraries, and galleries across Clarkson, Lorne Park, and Port Credit. This collaborative effort has turned the event into a highly anticipated weekend of gallery and studio hopping. Participating artists undergo a jury selection process to be featured in the show.
