Welcome to Port Dover , Ontario Canada!
Lots to Discover in Port Dover! Port Dover is situated on the north shore of Lake Erie.
In 1794, Port Dover was settled by United Empire Loyalists on the north shore of Lake Erie. First known for its gristmill, the sleepy little town soon grew in population as its economy diversified - it once boasted the largest freshwater fishing fleet in the world.
Today, Port Dover is still a thriving municipality of 6,500 residents with local attractions that include: The Lighthouse Festival Theatre; Port Dover Harbour Museum; Port Dover Harbour Marina; numerous wineries; farmers markets and more.Increasingly, people are discovering Port Dover as a wonderful place to retire due to its rich history and active community.
In addition to commercial fishing, nearby Long Point Bay is a sport fisherman's paradise with its wide variety of fish species, most notable bass, perch, pike and pickerel.
The 59th Friday the 13th is May 2016 - don't miss it!
For more than a century, the north shore of Lake Erie has held both fascination and magnetism that has attracted cottagers and tourists alike. On warm summer days in Port Dover, you'll find the swimmers, sun-worshippers and people-watchers, all who flock to the beach for recreation and relaxation and to enjoy the tasty culinary offerings of the nearby restaurants and food booths. Port Dover is famous for its local dish - fresh caught Lake Erie yellow perch and fries, served by many food establishments.
Throughout the year the town hosts a number of events, starting New Years Day with a Polar Bear Swim at the beach; a perch derby in April; July 1st Celebration; Summer Festival in August; weekly concerts in Powell Park in the summer; Santa Claus arriving by fish tug; and whenever a month has a Friday the 13th, the town becomes the destination for motorcyclists, with the PD13 celebrations being front and center.
Come discover Port Dover, try some of the local fare and see all that this convivial community has to offer.

CRYIN ONIONS in COBALT , Ontario.
First time I've heard this local group and I really enjoyed them. Their names are Lee Gagne and Randy Becker, left to right. It was at a public birthday event put on by our Arts festival Spring Pulse Poetry and Arts. There is a charming little cafe in the Cobalt Historical Railway station. We are trying to keep the station from disappearing completely into history. Thanks for helping out, you guys. Wishing you luck.
