Other than its galleries, Wellington’s artsy spirit can be found at its lively summertime events, such as BIGLAKE Festival, a week-long celebration of classical music with performances by international artists. If visiting from mid-May to October, you can browse the work of local artisans, plus food vendors, at Wellington Community Market, held on Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. But regardless of when you visit, you’ll often find live music and other events at Pounders Pub and Patio. While in Wellington, also consider a visit to Consecon, a village in Prince Edward wine belt, just 20 minutes away……
