Chautauqua Trail Logo

The Muskoka Chautauqua is a vibrant arts-based community where visitors come for personal growth, enrichment and renewal. It is an uplifting cultural hub that encompasses the arts, education and recreation; a place removed from the day-to-day world, where practitioners and leading thinkers of our time share innovative and creative ideas; a place where the arts blend with the natural beauty of Muskoka and where the human spirit – and all its hidden talents – may be liberated … and soar.

Each year the Chautauqua Reading Circle establishes a reading list based on a particular theme, and the season's programming is built around the books on the list.  The Muskoka Chautauqua is part of the Muskoka Literary Trail, which includes literary events throughout Muskoka during the spring, summer and fall.
