What is the En Plein Air Patio?

A seasonal activation of the Leamington Art Centre’s patio to connect the arts and the Windsor-Essex community. Our location in the heart of uptown Leamington gives us a unique opportunity to share our event to Leamington Art Centre regulars as well as the everyday passer-by, allowing more people to access our facilities. Join us on the patio this summer for specialty artisan cocktails, local craft beer, and live music every weekend!
 

 

Hours & Schedule

Every Saturday & Sunday from July 4th to August 23rd, 2026, except July 25th & 26th (Arts @ the Marina).

  • Patio: 12:00PM – 5:00PM.
  • Live Music: 2:00PM – 5:00PM.
In the event of inclement weather, the music and bar will be moved inside.

Tourism Relief Fund – Patio

In 2022, the Leamington Arts Centre (LAC) was provided funding by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). The funding was allocated under the Government of Canada’s Tourism Relief Fund and went toward supporting the installation of a patio area, as well as the purchase and installation of all-weather seating and outdoor heating. 

The project funding also supported the development and implementation of experiential tourism products. Not only is the patio great for events like our Mill St. Markets, but soon the LAC will also offer new and exciting programs to activate this exciting new outdoor space.
