Arts in the Park: 33 Years of Culture

The City of Cornwall’s Arts in the Park returns for its 33rd season with a great line-up of free performances in Lamoureux Park. This year’s program currently features 19 performances, with still more dates to come, beginning at 2 pm for afternoon matinees and 7 pm for evening performances (weather permitting) unless otherwise noted in the listings below.

Please bring your chair, blanket and/or picnic basket to Lamoureux Park and enjoy music performed by popular local artists and performers.

Shakespeare in the Park

In addition, this year’s series will once again feature the Montreal-based Repercussion Theatre performances of the classic Shakespeare in the Park. This year’s performances will be based on Romeo & Juliet, a Shakespeare favourite.

It will take place on Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8 at 7:00pm (in Lamoureux Park at the Lion’s Club Bandshell).

Check out the awesome trailer for the Romeo and Juliet: Love is Love performance by clicking here.

Movie in the Park

Enjoy a movie under the stars with family with the return of The Movie in the Park series for its 9th season. A recently animated adventure-comedy children’s movie will be played after sunset on a 25-foot inflatable screen. Chosen by a Facebook vote, the recently released children’s movie Ferdinand will be played.

Presented by Rachel’s Kids and the City of Cornwall, this FREE family event will take place on Friday, July 13th, and will begin as soon as it is dark enough (approximately 9:05 pm, and weather permitting).

Food vendors will be on site selling food, drinks and movie snacks. For the weather- come prepared with a lawn chair or blanket, a flash light and bug spray.

About Ferdinand

“Ferdinand is a young bull who escapes from a training camp in rural Spain after his father never returns from a showdown with a matador. Adopted by a girl who lives on a farm, Ferdinand’s peaceful existence comes crashing down when the authorities return him to his former captors. With help from a wisecracking goat and three hedgehogs, the giant but gentle bovine must find a way to break free before he squares off against El Primero, the famous bullfighter who never loses.”
