Peterborough Musicfest has announced the dates for its 39th summer season, returning to Del Crary Park with free live music along the waterfront.
The festival runs from June 27 to August 19, 2026, with concerts taking place at the Fred Anderson Stage at Del Crary Park. Performances are scheduled every Wednesday and Saturday evening at 8 pm.
As Canada’s longest-running free admission music festival, Peterborough Musicfest continues to draw thousands of people downtown each summer, featuring a mix of Canadian and international artists in an outdoor setting along Little Lake.
“Musicfest has always been about bringing people together,” said Tracey Randall, Executive Director of Peterborough Musicfest. “There’s something incredibly special about sharing live music by the lake — it creates connection, joy, and lasting memories. We’re thrilled to welcome everyone back to Del Crary Park for another summer of free concerts and community celebration.”
Organizers say planning for the 2026 season is already underway, with artist bookings, partnerships and community collaborations in progress. Lineup announcements and season highlights are expected to be released in the months ahead.
Returning for the 2026 season are the festival’s 50/50 raffle draw, Invest In Musicfest donation drive, food vendors and pre-show activities.
Peterborough Musicfest runs rain or shine and remains free to attend, supported by sponsors, donors, volunteers and community partners.
