Downtown Gananoque is a short walk from the marina and most hotels,
browse for unique foods, distinctive fashions, original art, home
accessories, or a special collectable. In the historic district of
Gananoque, some shops and businesses are housed in restored
buildings dating back to the 1800’s.
Authentic small-town ambiance, shopping and dining can be a way to
treat the senses and enjoy a welcome absence of city hustle and
bustle; and without emptying the pocketbook! Relax at a restaurant
or pub; the atmosphere may be casual and lively or quietly gracious,
but the menus and styles are varied and tempting. The charm and
aromas in the bakery offers irresistible goodies and fresh bread,
while small boutiques and variety shops and the general store and
old-fashioned hardware store offer an enjoyable way to tour the town
and mingle with the locals.
Visitor accommodations are nearby and within walking distance of the
downtown. Many events liven each season in Gananoque including,
JazzFest, an Antique & Classic Car show, "Chalk The Walk" a
sidewalk chalk art festival, Heritage Days weekend, Ribfest,
