Follow the colourful flags because Lake Country鈥檚 25th annual ArtWalk kicked off this morning at the Community Complex.
The event has been growing each year, with more than 300 artists and 7,000 visitors expected this year.
The venue size has also increased, Wise said.
After its initial location and startup, the walk moved to George Elliot Secondary鈥檚 gymnasium and it continues to expand, now using up the entire space of the community complex and stretches to the Lake Country Art Gallery down the street.
