On Saturday June 4 and Sunday June 5 the "Art in the Park" festival took place again in Willistead Park. The entrance fee was $7 dollars. For me, it was definitely worth the entrance fee.
In the park there were several food and beverage booths; jewelry booths, art and paintings for sale. You could also buy clothes or regional products like honey or cooking oil. I liked it there very much and I thought it was great to see the different vendor stands where people were selling interesting things.

In addition, music was played at various points in the Park. And the Park also has a small playground for children. Be sure to look at the big Willistead Manor house and the coach house – which were built by Hiram Walker who started the whiskey industry in Windsor back in 1856. I would say there was something for young and old. I myself bought some regional honey and some jewelry.

After leaving the park we walked to a pub called the Kildare House and had dinner there. It is located at 1880 Wyandotte Street, and is 5-10 Minutes away from the Art in the Park site. I think the Kildare House is very quaint and nice there. The food was really good too. But did you know that some Canadians like to drizzle vinegar over their French fries? No? Neither did I until that night! It's not my taste, but definitely try it out and form your own opinion.
