Attention community members!
The Town of Lunenburg, with support from ACOA, is working on a Cultural Tourism Economic Impact Study to better understand how cultural tourism supports our local economy, businesses, and community — and how we can continue to strengthen and grow it in ways that reflect who we are.
This study builds on the cultural tourism planning already underway. This work is rooted in the understanding that cultural tourism isn’t separate from Lunenburg’s identity; it’s built on it. Unlike general tourism, cultural tourism emphasizes authentic connections with the local culture, from heritage sites and festivals to everyday traditions and artistic expression — the things that make Lunenburg unique.
Now, we’re taking the next step: identifying the cultural assets that define Lunenburg and quantifying their impact through an economic lens. This will help us better understand what supports our cultural tourism sector — and how to sustain and grow it for the future.
We will host three workshop sessions on Wednesday July 9th at the Zwicker Building. These workshops will help us identify the stories, places, traditions and events that make our community special.
Wednesday, July 9th

Attend one of three workshops:

Your voice matters. Help us shape the future of cultural tourism in Lunenburg — together.
