Tip: Seasons

In general, Artscape Gibraltar Point is very quiet, as it is located on the lakefront on a car-free island without a great deal of visitor traffic. However some seasons are more tranquil than others. For those looking for a true “get away from it all” escape, we recommend you plan your visit outside of the summer season, when we do host weddings, musical events and public festivals on our grounds. Get in touch if you want more information on the atmosphere of Artscape Gibraltar Point at different times of the year.
