They have the bazaar there every 3rd Sunday of the month through the summer, which you may enjoy as well.

These are only some of what we have in Digby and neighboring area. There are so many hidden treasures all over!
And, Respect Please…
- Make sure you are not trans-passing in private property
- Do not litter – be responsible for your own garbage
- Do not disturb/damage wild life
Many people are working hard to keep our beautiful nature and common spaces safe and enjoyable behind the scene.
Please take a moment to appreciate their effort, and enjoy your picnic!
