Here is a quick snapshot of what’s happening around town the next 48 hours.
STUFF TO DO
Friday: Starting at 12 p.m., Of the Beehive celebrates the beauty of nature through the collaborative artwork of Heather Stubbs alongside fresh creations from members of the Colborne Art Gallery. Take a break from the everyday, explore the inspiring collection, and enjoy an afternoon surrounded by local creativity at the Colborne Art Gallery in Colborne.
Friday: Starting at 1 p.m., Meet the Author is your chance to hear firsthand from Dan Buchanan about his gripping new novel, The Batteau Railway!, learn what inspired the story, and ask questions you won’t find answered in the pages. Whether you’re an avid reader or simply curious about the creative process, it’s a great opportunity to connect with a local author at the Brighton Public Library in Brighton.
Saturday: Starting at 8 a.m., the Hastings Village Market is the kind of place where a quick stop often turns into a leisurely morning, with fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and friendly faces around every corner. Browse at your own pace, chat with local vendors, and enjoy the welcoming small-town atmosphere along Front Street in downtown Hastings.
Saturday: Starting at 7 p.m., Brighton Speedway comes alive with another night of high-speed racing where roaring engines, close battles, and edge-of-your-seat finishes keep fans cheering from the first green flag to the final lap. Whether you’re a lifelong motorsports fan or just looking for an exciting summer night out, there’s nothing quite like the atmosphere at Brighton Speedway Park in Brighton.
