Afterglow Art Festival

20150925 AfterglowFounded in 2012…

Afterglow Art Festival is a free art at night celebration of community creativity held in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. For three years the event has brought together artists of all kinds, from budding young artists to experienced professionals from across Lunenburg County to bring exposure to the talent of our rich community. Inspired by the Halifax’s Nocturne Art at Night event, Afterglow hosts unique creative exhibits and experiences for citizens in public spaces in Bridgewater, in particular highlighting it’s downtown core – King Street

Each project will be artist-led and each artist initiative is organized independently for the event. Last year (2013) we supported over 35 projects with over 150 artists. 
Projects and Creative Events to take place during the evening are comprised of any of the following (but not limited to):

  • Art installations

Open Farm Day

Open Farm Day is a province wide event on September 20th, 2015 that creates the opportunity for participating Nova Scotia farmers to open their doors to members of their community. We’re giving you a backstage pass to meet your farmer, and really see where your food comes from. We also want you to have a first hand glance at our farmers’ hard work and dedication to top quality products and services.

Please take advantage of this great opportunity and visit as many of these farms as possible. Share stories, ask questions, get involved and most importantly have fun!

In the immediate neighborhood of the FoxCreek Community, Scott & Vicky open their doors at the Millennium Gardens Farm in Mill Village at 339, Mill Village East Rd.
