Bronte’s “Lake Walk” begins Thursday May 7th 2015 from 6-10pm and in the future will take place on the first Thursday of the month in Bronte Village, Oakville; June 4th, July 2nd and August 6th. Inspired by Hamilton’s Art Crawl, The Lake Walk is a free form night time cultural event coordinated by the business owners of Bronte Village, The Bronte BIA, the Oakville Arts Council and the Oakville Art Society. It’s a night of art, food, music and culture as well as special promotions and activities from participating Bronte area businesses. It should be a night to remember.
Nearly 50 of Bronte Village’s businesses are participating by staying open to 10pm or beyond including many non-art related businesses who are offering pop up special performance events, activities, promotions. Evening entertainment caters to a “plugged-in” crowd as local businesses extend their hours for a music and art crawl. During the event, artists work “en plein air,” creating paintings outdoors. Musicians will perform at different venues. Updates will be posted on the ‘Events’ page on the Bronte BIA website.
