Letter From The Committee

Dear Art in the Park attendees, sponsors and artisans,

For over 40 years, Art in the Park has marked the unofficial start of summer in Windsor-Essex, and we’re thrilled to continue this cherished tradition on June 7 & 8, 2025.

Hosted on the stunning grounds of Willistead Park, Art in the Park is one of Ontario’s largest outdoor arts and crafts shows. With over 300 talented artisans and an estimated 30,000 paid visitors, this event has earned its reputation as one of the best!

But Art in the Park is more than just a two-day event—it’s a year-round fundraiser that transforms lives!

Because of your support, the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918) has raised over $2 million through Art in the Park to fight poverty, disease, and illiteracy both locally and globally. As our largest annual fundraiser, Art in the Park allows us to give back in meaningful ways. Proceeds directly supported local children’s charities, such as the John McGivney Centre for Children and Maryvale Adolescent and Family Services and many other local charities through our Community Service Grants, as well as funding global service projects. Additionally, over $1 million has been contributed toward the restoration of historic Willistead Manor and its grounds.

This incredible success wouldn’t be possible without you! Whether you join us as a sponsor, artisan, or visitor, your involvement helps us create lasting impacts in our community and beyond.

Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. We can’t wait to welcome you to Art in the Park 2025 and continue building on this legacy together.

Warm regards,
The Art in the Park Committee
Rotary Club of Windsor (1918)
