Beat the Winter Blues at Museum Windsor!
Location: Chimczuk Museum, 401 Riverside Drive West
Date: Saturday, January 25, 2025
Time: Regular hours of operation

The “winter blues” set in for many as late January arrives, but Museum Windsor has lots to celebrate (including an exciting upcoming exhibit) and lots of ways to chase the season’s chill away! This year, we’re celebrating everything hockey on a blues-busting Saturday in anticipation of a new hockey-themed exhibit opening this February. Beat those blues back by visiting the Chimczuk Museum on Saturday, January 25, 2025, for a fun-filled day of family-friendly activities including the following:
- A guided hockey-themed craft activity will be available in our Children’s Gallery at 11 a.m.
- Windsor’s Inaugural Multicultural Community Storyteller, Teajai Travis, will get visitors moving with drumming and storytelling at 12 p.m.
- Local author and sports columnist Bob Duff will be providing a talk about the history of hockey in Windsor at 1 p.m.
- The museum will be screening The Mighty Ducks film at 2 p.m. There will also be What’s Poppin’ popcorn and beverages available for purchase.
- There will be a special “blue table” sale in the Museum Gift Shop on select holiday items.
- Best of all, there will be free admission to the Chimczuk Museum and Art Windsor-Essex! In lieu of an admission fee, visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the Windsor Youth Centre.
