There is a new summer time attraction in Leamington.

Friday morning community leaders including MPP Rick Nicholls and  Mayor John Paterson celebrated the opening of the new $1.4 million community amphitheatre at Seacliff Park.

“The amphitheatre is a great addition to the Leamington Waterfront. This is all thanks to the hard work of the Municipality of Leamington, and I’m very proud to be part of such a vibrant community as it continues to improve itself,” said MPP Nicholls.

This on the waterfront venue will showcase music, movies and entertainment.

“Building this venue has been a dream of mine for many years,” said Paterson. “And to see it come to completion and put in use is exciting. It is something I hope our residents and our local artists will be proud of and to showcase what the arts have become in Leamington.”

The Amphitheatre is set to host a summer full of world-class entertainment with the Music Onthe42 concert series, Bank Onthe42 music series, Symphony Onthe42, community fireworks, Hogs for Hospice, and outdoor Movies for the whole family.
