As always, the festival aims to promote the Cobblestone Legacy that exists here in Paris, Ontario. With 14 buildings (12 homes, 2 churches), Paris can proudly call itself the Cobblestone Capital of Canada.
Local and regional artisans and guests have been invited to take part, and you will discover a variety of treasures including architectural model making, pottery and toy theatre. Not only do our artisans exhibit, but they also demonstrate their arts, giving our visitors a chautauqua experience – educational and entertaining.
