Appreciating the Artwork of Local Artists & Brewery in Creemore, Ontario

Quaint, artistic and unhurried, Creemore is one our favourite small towns in southern Ontario.

It is a small town of around 1200 people ( census 2016), about a twenty minute drive from Collingwood.

>Creemore used to be a small village but urbanites started coming in, buying houses and starting business and shops in the village's main street.

Now, the Creemore business area is vibrant with nice cafes, pastry shops, funky furniture and clothing stores lining both sides of the downtown street area.

For a small town, there are quite a few galleries displaying art work pieces created by their own local artisits. In one of the galleries, we met the artist in residence and was able to ask questions about his artowrk.

I loved the colourful little shops doting the main business street.

Everywhere we turned, we saw nice cute displays of various things. For instance, a book shelf with displays cleverly hung from a book store window. Teddy bears sliding down on a corner shelf in another shop.

We saw paintings in a convenient store, a book store and the displays in clothing stores were displayed with artisitic flavour

Besides the many interesting shops, Creemore has another famous interesting attraction - the Creemore Springs Brewery which produces it very own brews.

Creemore Springs Brewery used to offer tours of its plant and samples of their brewery.

Due to COVID, there was no tour but visitors to the brewery could order samples of drinks and refreshments and enjoy them on the patio.

That was what we did. Enjoying the nice fall weather, with friends and loved one. We raised our glasses to thank God, grateful for good health and peaceful days.
