Milton is one of 22 communities to be listed in the Ontario Culture Days travel guide!
The two-day guides explore the hidden cultural gems of 22 communities across Ontario, from Windsor to Manitoulin Island.
The free online guides offer unique what-to-do-and-see recommendations that are budget-conscious, family-friendly and unconventional. The guides also provide local lists of places to shop and where to eat and drink. If you’re the kind of person who wants to see what the province has to ever, the guides are great for day trip adventures, weekend getaways, and discovering your own backyard.
“We’re fortunate to have so many unique cultural offerings in Ontario, but sometimes these local gems may not receive the attention they truly deserve,” says Ruth Burns, Executive Director of Ontario Culture Days. “The ON Culture Guides travel itineraries present ideas for cultural enthusiasts who are willing to explore beyond the ordinary, while being mindful of budget constraints and the significance of supporting local communities.”

On the second day, visit one of the many Conservation Halton Parks, then check out the Halton County Radial Railway Museum and Country Heritage Park in the afternoon, before enjoying one Milton’s many restaurant options in the evening.
Windsor was used as an example by Ontario Culture Days. Tourists may not be aware of the significant contributions made by Black communities in the area for centuries. A historic entry point into Canada, Windsor saw many people seeking freedom through the Underground Railroad. The Windsor, Niagara Region, and Owen Sound itineraries acknowledge and pay tribute to the rich history of Black communities in Ontario.
The Manitoulin Island and Six Nations of the Grand River itineraries explore the diverse history, traditions, cuisine, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and highlight unique experiences in these regions.
Supporting local has never been more important. Take the guesswork out of your next road trip and use the ON Culture Guides to create the perfect plan for your next adventure.
