About
Tim Murton’s Twilight Zoo, a unique collection of lantern sculptures, has been decorating the streets of Elora, during the month of October, for almost two decades. Visitors started coming to Elora from all over Southern Ontario to see the display and, as popularity grew, other organizations started adding themed events, leading to the name “Monster Month in Elora”.

Sensational Elora
Sensational Elora - Festival of the Senses is the brain child of an amazing woman Rhoda Lipton. We lost Rhoda in June of 2012 and her husband (and Sensational Elora's greatest supporter) Benny Di Zitti in 2019.
Sensational Elora - Our annual award-winning Festival organizes events throughout the year featuring the renowned music, art, drama, film, food, scenery and architecture of historic Elora, culminating in our core festival events running throughout Thanksgiving weekend, including our Empty Bowls project, Pumpkin Day, and the Sensational Soup-off, raising money and awareness for the fight against poverty and hunger throughout Centre Wellington.
We strive to work with a wide variety of community partners to create fabulous events that showcase what Centre Wellington area has to offer. All our programming is designed to entice all of the senses. To accomplish that our events incorporate food and drink, provided by local restaurants, caterers, growers and retailers.
