Patio Season Has Arrived!

Summer is officially here, and there's no better time to pull up a chair, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy everything our beautiful community has to offer. As we celebrate Canada Day this week and welcome the start of July, one thing is certain, patio season is in full swing!

Whether you're catching up with friends, planning a date night, enjoying a family meal, or simply treating yourself after a day exploring the waterfront, our local patios are the perfect place to relax and make the most of the season.

From waterfront views to cozy hidden gems, our region is home to incredible local restaurants, each offering its own unique atmosphere and delicious menu.

Grab a seat at The Old English Pub, savour authentic flavours at Moroni's, enjoy peaceful dining at Riva, unwind on the charming patio at Laverne's Eatery, indulge in a tasty meal at Anthony's, watch the boats come and go at the Dockside Restaurant, fuel your adventures with a stop at The Boatshop Café, or experience the welcoming ambiance of The Purple House Café, just to name a few!

Our community is filled with amazing local businesses ready to welcome you all summer long.

This Canada Day, why not skip cooking and support one of our incredible local restaurants instead? Invite your family, gather your friends, order your favourite meal, and raise a glass to another unforgettable summer in the 1000 Islands.

While you're out exploring and indulging, don't forget to snap a few photos! Whether it's your delicious meal, a waterfront view, or a group selfie full of smiles, sharing your experience on social media goes a long way. Be sure to tag the businesses you visit, they truly appreciate every photo, review, and kind word. Your support helps local businesses reach new customers and reminds everyone why our community is such a special place to visit.

So here's your summer challenge: visit a patio you've always loved, discover one you've never tried before, and make it a goal to experience as many local favourites as you can this season.

Here's to sunshine, great food, wonderful company, and making memories that last long after summer ends.

Happy Canada Day, and we'll see you on the patio!
