Arts & Culture For All

Like its neighbour Port Perry, Uxbridge proudly boasts a vibrant cultural scene. Across town, you’ll find a range of quaint art galleries that showcase artists and works from all over the world, and of course, local talent found right here in our backyard. Beyond these traditional galleries, there are also more than 25 permanent art installations found in unique locations across town – further adding to the local creative energy. 

One of Uxbridge’s most well-known venues is the historic Roxy Theatre – a vintage 50s-style cinema that plays classic movies 7 days a week. The theatre truly feels like a time capsule and is worth a visit regardless of whether or not you call Uxbridge home! 

And if all that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find plenty of live entertainment in Uxbridge from live music to theatre, and everything in between.

The Trail Capital of Canada

While Uxbridge may be a hub of arts and culture, it’s also known for being an amazing gateway to the great outdoors. Fittingly dubbed the Trail Capital of Canada, there’s no shortage of natural scenery to explore around (and just outside of) town. 

Right next door in the Durham Regional Forest, you’ll find a massive network of gorgeous, well-maintained trails for hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, or simply taking a stroll. Or if you’re more into relaxing at the park, Uxbridge has more than a dozen public green spaces that make for a great place to unwind, be active, or whatever you may be into.
