Sudbury is rich in diversity
Sudbury has more fun things to see and do in the coming year than ever before! There’s something to satisfy just about every taste in this thriving centre of northeastern Ontario, accentuated by different cultures and traditions. The legendary Northern Lights Festival Boreal, Canada’s longest-running bilingual folk festival, is bringing Gord Downie to headline this year. It will be held at beautiful Laurentian University as the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre undergoes a major facelift. Set for July 9-11, buzz is already building and tickets are going fast! But the world-class entertainment doesn’t end there. Sudbury now boasts a world-class comedy festival — LOL Sudbury. The laughs run nightly May 26-29 featuring a host of performers, including funnyman Howie Mandel, of Deal or No Deal fame. There’s also the Dragonboat Festival (July 16-17), the Blueberry Festival (July 18-25), Blues for Food (June 19), the standing-room only Ribfest (Sept. 3) and the Jazz Sudbury Festival (Sept. 10-12). There are so many reasons to love Sudbury, it’s hard to pick just one. Take food. Cuisine highlighting Italian, Indian, Finnish, Greek, Ukrainian, Chinese and other cultures means there’s a rich diversity of foods and flavours to savour. There’s even a gluten-free restaurant for those with unique food requirements. The city also boasts great spots to rest your head after a full day of fun. You can enjoy the intimate experience of a bed and breakfast, the high quality of one of our suites or extended stay hotels, or even stay and play at one of Sudbury’s full service and picturesque resorts. Comfort, style and service with a smile await you at any of Sudbury’s gorgeous hotels and suites.
Shopping Capital of the North
Over the last 10 years, Sudbury has become THE shopping destination of the North. Every week, thousands of people flock to our burgeoning retail areas, which offer everything from the big box stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart) located in New Sudbury and the South End, to a host of specialty shops found in area malls and downtown. From specialty shops to outdoor cafes, live entertainment and the popular Market Square — rated the third best farmers’ market in Ontario — the city’s downtown core has something for everyone. If you are interested in the true nature of this beautiful community, your visit to Sudbury will not be your last. With great outdoors benefits that include prime fishing, hunting, hiking and water sports activities, as well as lodges, tours and year round access, the city offers a chance to commune with Mother Nature. There are many gorgeous hiking trails, not to mention all the bodies of water that give Sudbury its ‘City of Lakes’ moniker. Everything you need to enjoy what this city offers outdoors can be found through this guide, or by visiting www.rainbowroutes. com. There are also great venues and attractions for all to experience. The primary attraction remains Science North, which has been a tourism staple for 25 years (hosting more than 7.7 million people). It features a remodelled 3D IMAX theatre, bringing African Adventures, Sea Monsters and Dinosaurs to life in ways you never imagined. Adjacent to the science centre, located on Ramsey Lake, is the picturesque boardwalk that leads to the natural wonder that is Bell Park, home to festivals and concerts aplenty. With so many things to see and do in the City of Greater Sudbury, as well as the cultural diversity and lush green surroundings, it’s a wonder anyone would ever leave. So why not live here? You can stay year round on one of our many lakes, located right in the city, or experience the convenience of condo living, or the warmth of one of Sudbury’s neighbourhoods. We look forward to seeing you — and we know you will love it here.
