May Arts & Culture Scene: Tweed & Area Events

The Tweed & Area Arts Council has been working with several other local organizations to share information / coordinate the many arts / culture events happening in our community. One of the products we have prepared to help get the word out is a monthly poster calendar that highlights Tweed arts and culture events. This one is for May 2025 – please share the pdf or jpeg version! For more details on these and other events, and to learn about additional arts events in Tweed, see our events listing ! And please feel free to submit your arts or culture event to us so we can add it to the calendar.
