The fun began on London Street in the heart of Ontario County, where additional weekly programs were offered at Dundas Place to support dining and shopping.
Ryan Craven, Director of Core Area Programs with the city, explained the difficulties faced by businesses on Dundas Place in terms of construction duration as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout July, Dundas Place’s sidewalks were programmed each week with visual artists and musicians.
And as more people visit the area, the city is adding more programs.
Upcoming events include Free Comic Book Day on August 14, where hundreds of free comic books will be distributed to visitors. A street sale is also scheduled for August 21.
