Downtown Sidewalk Sale

Sunshine and sidewalk sales! Last Saturday on May 28, we hosted the first Sidewalk Sale of the year.

Shoppers at Stephanie’s Joy

The sale started at 11 and ran till 4. We had a mix of outdoor shopping and indoor deals across Queen Street. Beautiful weather and music outside at Case’s Music, Camera Craft, and 45 Social.

At the Downtown Association we had open doors for those keen on the future of Queen Street to take a look at the new streetscaping plan. To view, visit the Downtown Association office at 496 Queen Street East.

It wasn’t just sidewalk sales and deals that Saturday! The new art studio/gallery “The Art Hub At Spring” had its soft launch. The new studio space is an artist collective/gallery/venue at 504 Queen Street East.
