Peterborough Musicfest

[1] The concerts are held at Del Crary Park, located in the downtown on George Street, adjacent to Little Lake.

Founded in 1986 by Fred Anderson, these concerts were followed by a choreographed illuminated boat show and a fireworks display.

Beginning in 2005, the festival chose to forgo the aging boat show in favour of hiring more well-known performers and improving the fireworks display.

Board members want the new name to focus on the music, seeing as the lights are no longer part of the festival.

In 2023, the music festival attracted an estimated 110,000 people and generated $4.3 million annually for the region.
