Downtown Midland comes to life this summer season! Local artists have been selected to have their unique pieces of artwork displayed along King Street. The designs celebrate our area’s natural environment and bring more colour, beauty, pride and enjoyment to our streets. Visit Downtown Midland to witness the artwork on flagpoles and bollards that line King Street.
This public art initiative was made possible by Tourism Simcoe County. Learn more at experience.simcoe.ca.
