The Spirit of Manitou Trail tour is on this weekend, featuring some of the province’s finest artists and artisans nestled within a comfortable driving area.  

Some of the artists have banded together at gallery locations while others greet travellers at their own studio locations. The trail encompasses the communities of Meacham, Viscount, Plunkett, Guernsey, Manitou Beach and Watrous and their rural areas. There are multiple pathways to take to enjoy the hospitality of each host and artist.
