The Thursday email
One email every other Thursday afternoon — what's on, what's open, and what's worth the detour. Every issue is published here too, so you never have to subscribe. But it's nicer when it just shows up.

Every issue
- No. 9 · October 22, 2026 Fall on the 7, in your photos
Your fall photos from Maberly to Havelock, a harvest feast at Oso Hall, the vote on the 26th, and Halloween from Carleton Place to Marmora.
- No. 8 · October 8, 2026 One last big weekend on the 7
Norwood Fall Fair since 1868, Perth's studio tour, a harvest market in the barns, the last Havelock market, and the run-up to October 26.
- No. 7 · September 24, 2026 Off the 7 and into the studios
Two studio tours open at once on the 26th and 27th, at Tweed and across Peterborough County. Plus a 172nd fair, scarecrows in Marmora and Pumpkinfest.
- No. 6 · September 10, 2026 Three Saturdays left, or five, depending where you are on the road
Six markets run the length of the 7, all of them into their last few weeks. The middle of the road closes first. Plus a crowded Saturday the 12th.
- No. 5 · September 3, 2026 The long weekend, and one thing you've never done
Two fairs and a stampede anchor the weekend. Go to the one you don't usually go to, and stop on the way at something you never have.
- No. 4 · August 27, 2026 The last big Saturday, and one last swim
A pow wow, a fair, a market and a fish fry all land on the 29th, a quiet beach at Arden deserves your last dip of the year, and a small challenge for whoever's driving.
- No. 3 · August 6, 2026 Garlic first, then the biggest Saturday of the summer
Perth smells like garlic this weekend, Saturday the 15th puts something in seven towns at once, and the weekly series start signing off.
- No. 2 · July 23, 2026 A Saturday that ends on the beach
Country music on the sand at Sharbot Lake, two summer series opening tonight, and a long weekend that's going to be busy.
- No. 1 · July 9, 2026 No headline this week, and that's the point
The corridor's July rhythm is weekly, not annual — bagpipes on Friday, three good markets on Saturday, and a lawn chair on Tuesday.
