Good Morning, Kincardinites! Welcome to this issue of Kincardine Spotlight – where you can find all of the area’s events in ONE place.
Today’s the day - Market in the Park!!! So exciting, this is a beloved Kincardine tradition that is loved by locals and visitors alike. I’ll be there - will you? This is where I get my precious Csabi - authentic Hungarian sausage that you can’t get anywhere else in town.
This week’s business spotlight is Treats & Tales - not just another used bookstore, but a quaint and cozy spot for Canadian-made items, used books, magazines and other goodies. Read more about Treats & Tales below.
I have a few spots left if you’d like to showcase your business in the visitors guide! For a nominal fee of $50, you and your business can get in front of thousands of tourists this season! Email me for more info - [email protected]
More favourites coming your way in the coming weeks, and the Visitors Guide is coming along nicely. We will post the link when it’s finished in the next week or so.

Fires must be in approved pits (dug into sand, stone/masonry rings, or pre-made containers)
Fires must not exceed 1m x 1m x 1m
No fires when winds exceed 16 km/h
Firewood only – no leaves or prohibited materials
Keep at least 3m away from buildings, dry grass, or vegetation
Fires must be supervised by an adult at all times
Have water, sand, or a fire extinguisher on hand
Respect the beach—no fires on dunes or in pedestrian areas

Inclusive Playground at McPherson Park - Have Your Say, Fill Out the Survey
Take a look at what’s coming to MacPherson Park The updated concept design for the MacPherson Park Inclusive Playground is now available, and we’re sharing the detailed illustrations for the first time. Thanks to feedback from the community, the Accessibility Advisory Committee, and project partners, the design has been refined and is one step closer to construction. Before it’s finalized, we’re inviting residents to take a quick survey and share final thoughts on the design, shade options, and surrounding park features. Please note, the new playground surfacing will be 100% poured-in-place rubber for accessibility.
