What to Do

Year three at Sundance opened with a beautiful warm sunny Saturday. Nearly 4000 patrons strolled through the gardens and cedar trail enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and original works by the 18 artists in attendance. Kathleen served cupfuls of cold, mouth-watering gelato, a surprise feature that is returning this year.

Please join us for year four, stay for an hour or the day. Stroll the gardens and trail, rest by the ponds and engage the 20 artisans, and a mystery artist . Our motto at Sundance is always “turn off the cell phone, relax and let us entertain you.“

“it's such a pleasure to have time to talk, time to stroll and time to sit by one of the ponds and not having to rush to the next studio...what a great idea“

Sundance is pleased and honored to welcome our own “Wandering Minstrel“ this year. David “Zeke“Mazurek has been a professional violin player for over 35 years. His portfolio includes playing with such internationally recognized artists as Sylvia Tyson and Prairie Oyster. He has released three CD´s of his own, offering a wide range of blues, folk, and jazz violin renditions. Every afternoon during Sundance he will be strolling through the gardens serenading our guests with his enchanting violin.

Renowned local pianist Clay Young and clarinetist Dave Renaud return with their smooth, relaxing light jazz located near the patio. Enjoy their music while you have lunch. Clay and Dave received a warm welcome last year and we are thrilled they are returning for Sundance 2010.

What to See

Located on the outskirts of the village of Maberly, Carmen´s gardens have charmed thousands of guests for the past three years. Some of the artists are displayed in timber frame “studios“ along the cedar trail which shares an acre and a half with our enchanting gardens. Artisans from across Ontario join us this year. Our artists value and care for our environment by utilizing as much reclaimed or natural materials as possible.
