On behalf of Cobourg Town Council, it is my
pleasure to warmly welcome you to our
beautiful town and one of our most cherished
summer traditions.
We’re thrilled to host visitors from near and far
for this exciting celebration on the shores of Lake
Ontario. From artisan vendors and live music to
delicious food and family-friendly fun, the
Waterfront Festival truly offers something for
everyone. We extend our sincere thanks to the
many volunteers, organizers, and community
partners – Rotary Club of Cobourg and Lions Club
of Cobourg who work tirelessly to make this festival
such a memorable experience year after year.
While you’re here, we encourage you to explore
all that Cobourg has to offer. Stroll through our
charming downtown, enjoy our historic harbour,
and take in the natural beauty of our waterfront
parks and beaches. Whether you’re discovering
a new favourite local shop, enjoying a meal on a
patio, or simply relaxing by the lake, we hope
you feel the warmth and hospitality that our
community is known for.
On behalf of our entire community — Welcome to
Cobourg. We’re so glad you’re here, and we hope
this visit will be one of many.

="׉EA SUMMER TRADITION
BY THE LAKE
For over 30 years, the Cobourg Waterfront Festival has been one of
Ontario’s most beloved summer events—drawing tens of thousands of
visitors each year to the shores of Lake Ontario for a celebration of art,
culture, music, and community.
What began as a small Canada Day weekend gathering has grown
into a three-day festival that transforms Cobourg’s historic waterfront
into a vibrant hub of activity. The event is a true collaboration between
the Town of Cobourg, the Cobourg Lions Club, and the Rotary Club of
Cobourg, with each organization bringing its own energy and expertise
to the experience.
At its heart, the festival has always celebrated Cobourg’s unique sense of
place: a beautiful lakeside town known for its welcoming atmosphere,
rich heritage, and postcard-perfect scenery. From the artisan market
that winds through Victoria Park, to the lively entertainment stage,
family fun zones, food trucks, and Canada Day celebrations, the festival
offers something for every visitor—whether you’re discovering Cobourg
for the first time or returning year after year.
The Cobourg Waterfront Festival isn’t just an event—it’s a highlight of
the summer season and a perfect reason to explore one of Ontario’s
most charming small towns.
Come for the day. Stay for the weekend. Fall in love with Cobourg.

and downtown is limited,
especially during the festival.
To make the most of your
day, we recommend taking
advantage of free shuttles,
ride-sharing, or biking
whenever possible.
If you’d rather not worry
about finding a parking
spot, leave your car for free
at one of our two convenient
shuttle locations:
Northumberland Mall at 111
Elgin Street West or at the
Cobourg Community Centre,
750 D’Arcy Street.
From there, hop on a
complimentary festival
shuttle that runs about every
30 minutes. The shuttle drops
you off right near the heart
of the action and returns you
to your vehicle when you’re
ready to go.
Please note: Traffic and wait
times may vary. Shuttle
drivers do their best to stay
on schedule, but delays can
happen.

OTARY CLUB OF COBOURG,
HARBOURARTS CHAIR
WHAT’S ONE UNEXPECTED THING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES
AT THE FESTIVAL?
The weather! It’s the one thing we can’t control and the one
thing we always have to be ready for. Whether it’s a sudden
downpour, unexpected heat, or wild wind, it keeps us on our
toes every year.
IF YOU COULD ONLY ENJOY ONE PART OF THE FESTIVAL ALL WEEKEND,
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
The midway. It brings out the kid in everyone. The lights, the
sounds, the energy—it’s the heartbeat of the festival for many.
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE PLANNING THE
COBOURG WATERFRONT FESTIVAL?
11 years. Mike has been a dedicated part of the team for over
a decade, and his work—especially on the electrical side of
things—is a big reason why the festival runs so smoothly
behind the scenes.
ROTARY HARBOURARTS
Get ready to explore, discover, and be inspired!
Wander the vibrant rows of tents lining the Esplanade and
flowing into Rotary Harbourfront Park — a waterfront
marketplace filled with creativity and charm. From
handcrafted art and home décor to gourmet treats and unique
gifts, there’s something here that’s sure to catch your eye.
This year features a dynamic mix of returning favourites and
exciting new artisans, making it the perfect place to shop,
browse, and take something special home.
Admission is free, and donations are welcome.

IONS CLUB OF COBOURG,
WATERFRONT FESTIVAL CHAIR
WHAT’S ONE UNEXPECTED THING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES
AT THE FESTIVAL?
No matter how prepared we are, something always comes up!
One year, it was realizing we were short on inventory for the
refreshment tent—never a dull moment!
IF YOU COULD ONLY ENJOY ONE PART OF THE FESTIVAL ALL WEEKEND,
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
The Chamber breakfast. It’s a rare chance to relax, share
stories from the previous day, and gear up for another busy
one. Plus, good food and great company!
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE PLANNING THE
COBOURG WATERFRONT FESTIVAL?
I’ve been on the committee since 2019 and enjoy it more each
year. It’s incredibly rewarding to know our work supports the
community all year long.

The Cobourg Waterfront Festival began in 1967 as a modest art
and craft show on Victoria Beach, celebrating Canada’s Centennial
with a fireworks display organized by local firefighters. In 1987, the
Cobourg Rotary Club of Cobourg and Lions Club of Cobourg, along
with a dedicated volunteer committee, revitalized and expanded
the event. Today, it stands as one of Ontario’s largest summer
festivals, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year. Held
annually over the Canada Day long weekend, the festival features a
blend of arts and crafts, live entertainment, amusement rides, food
vendors, and a spectacular fireworks display. It’s a cherished
tradition that continues to unite the Cobourg community and
visitors in celebration.

Open daily from 11am to 11pm, the Refreshment Tent is a mustvisit
destination at the Cobourg Waterfront Festival in Victoria
Park. If you’re looking to cool off in the afternoon, take a break
between vendors, or enjoy a laid-back evening with friends by the
lake, this is the place to meet up. Located in the heart of the
festival grounds, the tent offers a relaxed, licensed space to enjoy
cold beverages, local flavours, and the community vibe that makes
the festival so special.
The licensed area features a selection of beer, cider, coolers, and
non-alcoholic options, with shaded seating and a view of the
bustling festival all around you.
Two breweries will be featured this year:
Northumberland Hills Brewery, based right here in Cobourg, is
known for its small-batch, handcrafted beer made with care and
creativity. From crisp lagers to flavourful ales, their lineup reflects
the region’s passion for quality and community.
Brock Street Brewery, located in Whitby and soon to be in Cobourg,
brings award-winning craft beers and bold flavours to the tent.
With a reputation for innovation and excellence, Brock Street offers
something for both casual drinkers and true beer lovers.

IT’S BETTER DOWNTOWN.
Need a break from the festival? Just
one block north, Downtown Cobourg is
ready to welcome you.
Sip something refreshing on a breezy
patio, grab a bite. You’ll find pub fare
and something warm from the oven.
Browse shops filled with fashion, fun
finds, and your next summer read.
You’ll find all the major banks along
King Street, so if you need cash (and
want to skip the ATM fees), a quick stroll
will do the trick.
Downtown Cobourg blends heritage
charm with art, Canadian-made goods,
and one-of-a-kind treasures. Discover
everything from vintage gems to
modern styles, hand-crafted items, and
nostalgic throwbacks.
Our downtown merchants are ready
to greet you—and offer a little reprieve
from the bustle of the festival.

We love pets. You love pets. But let’s be honest—they’re not here for
the food trucks or the crowds.
The Cobourg Waterfront Festival is hot, busy, loud, and full of distractions:
music, fireworks, food everywhere (on the ground, in hands,
falling off plates…)—and while it’s all fun for us, it’s a lot for our fourlegged
friends.
Even the most easygoing pets can get overwhelmed, protective, or
just plain stressed out in this environment. And frankly, dodging
dropped hot dogs isn’t their idea of a great day.
So while we’d love to see every wagging tail, we ask that you leave
pets at home where they can enjoy the air conditioning and peace
and quiet. (Service animals, of course, are always welcome in line with
AODA guidelines.)
This policy keeps everyone safer—visitors, vendors, and especially
your pet.
Skip the stress. Let them nap. You enjoy the fun. Deal?

RESPONSIBLE
FESTIVAL-GOER
LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND
Help keep our beautiful waterfront clean. Use the bins provided, and
pack out anything you brought in. A clean festival is a happy festival.
The geese and ducks will thank you too.
SUPPORT LOCAL VENDORS
From handmade crafts to delicious food, the Waterfront Festival is
full of hardworking vendors. When you buy local, you support small
businesses, artists, and our regional economy. Even a small purchase
makes a big difference.
TRAVEL SUSTAINABLY
Consider biking, carpooling, or using the free shuttle service when
coming to the festival. Not only is it better for the planet, but it also
saves you the stress and cost of parking!
SNAP RESPONSIBLY
Take lots of photos, but remember to be respectful when capturing the
moment — not everyone wants to be in your selfie and not everyone
wants their homes on Instagram! Don’t forget to connect and share the
love online. #cobourgwaterfrontfestival #experiencecobourg
BE SUN SMART & WEATHER READY
Pack your sunscreen, a hat, and dress in layers. The weather can
change quickly near the water, so plan ahead to stay comfortable and
safe — rain or shine!
BE KIND & COMMUNITY-MINDED
Festivals bring people together. Be courteous to volunteers, respect
personal space, and lend a hand if someone needs it. A little kindness
goes a long way.
