specialty shops. Be inspired by the wide range of truly unique gifts for
the special people in your life and for your home, and enjoy a personalized shopping

Elora Festivals and Events
The famous annual
ELORA MUSIC FESTIVAL of classic and contemporary music, a
glorious summertime tradition, celebrated its 30-year anniversary in
2009, with performances from July through August. Conductor of the Elora Festival Singers and co-founder of the Elora Festival Noel Edison
received the Order of Ontario for his incredible influence
on classical choral music. Open-air Elora Quarry concerts were back in 2009,
hopefully for years to come.
The
ELORA-FERGUS STUDIO TOUR, a self-guided tour of local artists' studios on the
last weekend in
September and first weekend in October, is a very
popular event with a more than 20-year tradition.
And our
SENSATIONAL ELORA Fall Festival of the Senses, 11 days in
October, enjoyed great success in 2008 and
2009, with
a full schedule of events to experience Elora's art, music,
film, theatre, local food and culinary events.
  October
is also MONSTER MONTH in
the Village of Elora, a magic time for discovering and admiring the
ghostly creatures hanging around Elora's streets, created from wire and
gauze mache and inspired by Tim Murton, local Elora artist and creator
of his own ht Monster
TWILIGHT ZOO.
New in 2009 was the very popular community
MONSTER MARCH Costume PARADE on Saturday night, October 24.
