The waves are calling, and the excitement is building as Sidelaunch Days returns for its 10th anniversary celebration, bringing unforgettable music, movement, and maritime magic, all taking place over three days at Collingwood’s historic harbourfront, with outdoor live concerts at the Shipyards Amphitheatre, located at 2 North Maple Street, and the best part is all event activities are FREE!
For more information, event updates, and more, visit the official festival website or follow @SidelaunchDays on social media.
This year’s festival promises more action, artistry, and adventure than ever before—inviting residents and visitors to celebrate Collingwood’s proud maritime heritage through interactive events on land and water. Come experience the joy of being in, on, and around the water.
Kick off the festivities with an evening concert at the Shipyards Amphitheatre, featuring the Carly Thomas Band, and returning favourite, Fiddlestix with high-energy performances to set the weekend's tone.
Bring your blanket, your lawn chair, or take a seat along the natural stone tiers to enjoy live music and breathtaking sunsets!
Parking is very limited along North Maple Street, so please park at the end of North Birch Street in the large parking lot and it's just a very short walk down the trail to the Amphitheatre.
Please DO NOT bring alcohol into the venue! Sidelaunch Brewing Company is on site for your beverage needs, as well as Pizza Pizza and Bedward Jerk House, so you can eat, drink and be merry for an evening of fun! On site food and beverage products are for purchase for your convenience.
