You will be pleasantly surprised by Port Hope's small-town vibe that comes with so many cool perks. There is history to explore, street festivals, musical theatre and events on the water. We acknowledge that this land is on the traditional territory of the Mississauga Nations.
Best Preserved Main Street in Ontario
Creative types come here for the ambience. The slower pace, wide open spaces and camaraderie appeal to big personalities and big ideas. Our arts community is vibrant — the Capitol Theatre hosts live shows, films and the Vintage Film Festival each September.
Artists and makers come here for the vibe
We show off local talent at festivals like the Port Hope Arts Festival in August with food, music and makers in Memorial Park. Visit the Northumberland Arts Gallery and Shop for paintings, sculpture and pottery, or Dragon Clay Productions for whimsical tea pots.
Port Hope's small-town beauty has made us a popular location for TV and film shoots.
