South Ward’s Halloween House Decorating contest returned this year and, while contending with weather, the World Series and a new event format, it turned out to be a spooktacular event.  This annual community happening, organized by Paris business owner and Halloween enthusiast Tiffany Martin, is such a fun and frightening initiative that engages the locals in a friendly competition and boosts the spirit of the season. 

Saturday, October 4 marked the second annual The Other Paris Fashion Week (TOPFW) presented by KLK Paris, Rebel & Royal, and Big Cityyy Arts. It was a dazzling showcase of local fashion and wearable art at the #ForParisCentre, held as part of Ontario Culture Days 2025. This year’s event featured two runway shows highlighting 12 designers, most of them local to Brant, along with a vibrant fashion and art market, a pop-up red carpet, and a fleet of photographers. The success of the event was made

Arts, culture and craft has always been a pillar of Paris’ identity and economy, and this rich creative environment has enticed many artists to land, root and flourish in our community. We are home to thousands of artisans and artists, including Installation Artist & Project Facilitator Marguerite Larmand.
