Welcome to Leamington!
Sunsets, secluded beaches, after dinner sails, rare plants, rich land, diverse bird species and exotic butterflies are all part of life in Leamington, Ontario. Located on the north shore of Lake Erie close to Point Pelee National Park, Leamington is the southernmost community in Canada. It is known as the “Tomato Capital of Canada” due in large part to the H.J. Heinz Company factory located in the area. As a kickoff to the tomato harvesting season, Leamington hosts the annual Tomato Festival in August. Bird lovers will find the town an ideal spot for viewing migrating birds especially during the spring. It is also a hotspot for catching a glimpse of various types of butterflies, most notably the Monarch variety. Many recreational opportunities are enjoyed in Leamington, such as boating and fishing or walking along the Marina Park/Waterfront Promenade. The ErieQuest Marine Heritage Museum and The Arts Centre are also popular places to visit while in town.Tourist Attractions
