LOCATION
Millrace Park (36 Water Street N) is the perfect location for a mid-day picnic along the Grand River in the European-esque town formally known as Galt, now better known as Downtown Cambridge. The park prominently features the remains of an 1847 mill and has become a destination for engagement and wedding photography.
PICNIC ESSENTIALS
Sweet Treats
Downtown Cambridge has a selection of wonderful bakeshops that can offer the perfect decadent treat for your picnic. Today, we selected Tiny Cakes (65 Dickson St) for their Macarons - a burst of colour for any plate setting; these delicious delicacies come in various flavours and are delicious!
