Mural Festival

Midland is home to one of Ontario’s largest outdoor art galleries. From King Street to Little Lake Park, the Harbour, and Midland Bay Landing, you'll find stunning, unique artwork around every corner, including vibrant laneway murals.

We've got something to brag about. The "Huron Native and Jesuit Priest at Sainte-Marie" mural measures 80 feet by 250 feet, making it the largest outdoor historic mural in North America - and it is located at our beautiful waterfront on Georgian Bay!
