The Town of Whitby is excited to announce a New event coming to Downtown Whitby on Saturday July 26, 2025.

Discover our home at Whitby’s First Annual Home Sweet Home Festival.

Welcome to our Home!  Naturally, beautiful green spaces, a vibrant waterfront, thriving downtowns, and a safe community – the Heart of Durham Region, an exceptional place to live, work and explore.  A place we call our home sweet home.

Whitby is a fast-growing, vibrant municipality which offers a small-town welcoming atmosphere with the amenities of a larger urban centre.  The community is culturally diverse with a robust arts, culture,  music and food scene.  And whether you have just discovered Whitby for the day or lived here for years – we invite you to explore our home sweet home.

What is home to you?

• Our home is about family.
• Our home has great food.
• Our home is about the diverse cultures that live here
• Our home is full of music, art, dance, sports, and culture.
• Our home supports each other

From the Spanish words of “Mi Casa, es Su Casa” – meaning make yourself at home or my home is your home.  Welcome to Whitby!  Make yourself at Home.
