The new market is located on King Street. More traditional culture is found on all sides, in galleries and in the performances at the acclaimed Centre in the Square. Another locale for perhaps slightly more raucous performances is the popular Aud the Kitchener Auditorium, home to hockey and a wide variety of shows and performances, year round. Kitchener is also home to creative local theatre groups and more than its share of talented musicians whose music is on offer in venues around the city, every weekend. Or, if you tend to the outdoor take on cultural activities, this city has fine parks, the exciting attractions of Sportsworld, and excellent golf courses, including municipal courses Doon Valley and Rockway. Whether you are looking for plenty of hands-on heritage, great shopping, fine concerts and theatre, or eclectic shopping, Kitchener, with excellent inns and hotels, is a great city for a long, leisurely visit.
