If you’re reading this Friday afternoon, there’s still time to make tonight’s plans.
The Parent Trap is playing under the stars in Conservation Park tonight, followed by a Saturday morning market loaded with local produce, sourdough and makers.
Here’s what’s worth knowing around L&A this week.
WHAT’S HAPPENING
🎬 The Parent Trap in Conservation Park
Friday, August 21 | At dusk
Conservation Park, 10 Pearl Street, Napanee
Bring a chair or blanket and settle in for The Parent Trap on the big screen behind the picnic shelter. The Town is providing popcorn, with chocolate milk available thanks to the L&A Dairy Producers.
The movie is free.
🥕 Market Saturday
Saturday, August 22 | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Market Square, Downtown Napanee
This week’s market lineup is a good one.
Look for local sweet corn and vegetables, sourdough breads and baked goods, fresh-cut flowers, Kawartha Dairy treats, locally made soaps, candles, crafts and more.
If fresh food and baked goods are your market priorities, Saturday should be worth the stop.
⛪ Annual Pilgrimage Service at Old Hay Bay
Sunday, August 23 | 3 to 5 p.m.
Old Hay Bay Church, 2365 South Shore Road, Greater Napanee
One for readers interested in local history and heritage.
The annual gathering returns to Old Hay Bay Church on Sunday afternoon, with the traditional service held at one of the area’s longstanding historic sites.
Admission: Donations encouraged.
🚗 Retro Rewind
Tuesday, August 25 | 6 to 8 p.m.
Museum of Lennox & Addington, 97 Thomas Street East, Napanee
The Museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a free retro-themed evening on Tuesday.
It’s an easy midweek outing and a fitting way to mark five decades of preserving L&A stories.
Admission: Free.
🏡 HOUSE OF THE WEEK
80 Trillium Lane, Greater Napanee
$849,900 | 3 bed | 1 bath
A newly listed waterfront cottage that feels different enough to earn the spot this week.
The three-bedroom bungalow was extensively updated in 2025 and is being sold fully furnished, with a renovated kitchen and bathroom, new windows, doors, siding and metal roof. Outside, there’s a dock, boathouse, bunkie and waterfront fire pit on a 258-foot-wide lot.
Why it stood out: It’s the kind of turnkey waterfront property that shows another side of the Greater Napanee market, without simply being another big house with a big price tag.

COMING SOON
🎶 Newburgh Jamboree
Sunday, September 6 | 1 p.m.
Newburgh Community Hall, 2 Factory Street, Newburgh

Enjoy the last stretch of August, and if you’re heading to the movie tonight, don’t forget the lawn chair.
