Welcome to the
Cobourg Waterfront Festival

 

The Cobourg Waterfront Festival began almost 50 years ago as a small art and craft show on beautiful Victoria Beach on Canada Day in 1967. The event included a fireworks display put on by local fire fighters to celebrate Canada's Centennial.

 

Fast forward to the 1990's when the Cobourg Rotary Club and the Cobourg Lions Club became involved along with a volunteer committee from the Town. Since that time, the Cobourg Waterfront Festival has become one of the largest summer festivals in Ontario, attracting tens of thousands of people to the community over the Canada Day long weekend. Here's our events-at-a-glance or view the full digital version of this year's Waterfront Festival Guide.

 

We hope you'll visit us this year. While here, take some time to stroll downtown (just two blocks away) and visit our many shops and restaurants. We think you'll be impressed. Who knows... maybe you'll become one of the visitors to the festival who decides to set down roots in our extraordinary community.
