Find More to Do. Discover More Places. Explore Your Own Backyard!

Looking for things to do in North Durham, Brock, Kawartha Lakes and beyond? You’re in the right place. From weekend events and live music to farm experiences, workshops, local food, hidden gems and unexpected adventures, Sideroads helps you discover more of what’s happening close to home.

A little Sideroads inspiration, straight to your inbox.

Some of the best experiences aren't necessarily the ones you planned.

They're the farm you didn't know existed. The little shop you finally stopped at. The workshop you signed up for on a whim. The band you discovered on a Friday night. Or the place you drove past a hundred times before finally turning in.

That's what Sideroads is all about.

Finding something new, somewhere close to home.
