eight-weeks of free admission concerts that showcase renowned musicians in a beautiful gathering place at the end of the rapids (Nogojiwanong) on the shores of picturesque Little Lake.

Tenille Townes
Saturday June 29th @ 8:00pm
Five- time reigning Female Artist of the Year at the CCMA’s Country music star Tenille Townes will kick off the 37th annual Peterborough Musicfest with a free concert at Del Crary Park on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
As a little girl growing up in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Townes first fell in love with music thanks to the eclectic mix of artists her parents played at home. She then discovered her passion for songwriting at age 14.
--- Not what we expected. She's more Stevie Nicks than Loretta Lynn

Griffen Palmer --- a pleasant surprise. Country singer-song writer.

Dwayne Gretzky
Wed August 7 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
80's and 90's pop, upbeat, singalong songs. We did a little dancing at the end.Read more

We are off
June 26, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
We are off.

We left Peterborough around 10. We had a few setbacks. Starting with the shitter not being able to dump. Simon fixed it.

Then we were getting honked at coming the back way into Havelock to get the kids. We pulled over and the bike rack had bent the frame and almost lost them all.

We grabbed the boys from Mom's and off to our first spot at AchrayRead more
