What's going on? When it comes to Sarnia-Lambton, the answer is simple. Plenty. Starting with a vibrant and prolific theatre scene, with productions from both professional and community companies alike, the area offers a wide selection of timeless treasures and the latest from upcoming theatrical talent.

 

Whether it's well-known venues such as Victoria Playhouse Petrolia, the Imperial Oil Centre for the Performing Arts, Huron Country Playhouse or other theatre performances, the theatre scene is alive and well.

 

Sarnia-Lambton is rich in its history, something that's become a draw for many and a point of distinction. Take for example several notable museums offering insights into an era long past, among them the historic and literary notable Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Lambton Heritage Museum (just across from the Pinery Provincial Park near Grand Bend), Sarnia's Stones 'N Bones or, in Lambton County, at the Oil Museum of Canada, where one of North America's first producing oil wells was discovered.

 

 

See displays on the oil industry's progression, souvenirs collected by the Oil Springs and Petrolia foreign drillers who mined oil in 87 countries, or investigate the many outdoor buildings.

 

 

Petrolia Discovery also invites you to step back in time to a 19th century working oil field which is still pumping oil using the same methods and machines as over 100 years ago.

 

Summer in Sarnia-Lambton is a time when visitors are welcome to celebrate the birth of a nation every July 1 as the community celebrates Canada Day.

 

 

 

 

Warm weather aside for a moment, this is an area that also celebrates winter. We're talking about events as popular as the Celebration of Lights, a seven week festival that begins mid-November, as well as Snowfest in January, which attracts world-class snow and ice sculptors for the entertainment of all.

 

There's also a growing number of musical festivities for visitors to Sarnia-Lambton to enjoy, including the renowned and hugely successful Bayfest.

 

Rock on.
