The Amherstburg Uncommon Festival returned last Friday through Sunday, with events, entertainment and activities predominantly in the Open Air Weekends footprint with additional vendors, children’s activities and events in King’s Navy Yard Park.

Covey and Dippoliti said they enjoy being around like-minded creators and people who use their crafting abilities. Dippoliti said she liked the atmosphere and found it a fun place to be. Getting together, dressing up and having fun was what Covey enjoyed about Uncommon. “You don’t know what to experience,” she said. Tim Gregorian, Suzanne Desmarais and Courtney Gregorian were on hand last Friday night. The Windsor residents said they like coming to Amherstburg for the Uncommon Festival, with Tim noting it was their second year doing so. “There’s nothing else like it,” said Courtney. From watching the shows, visiting the vendors to getting ice cream, Tim added they enjoyed everything.
