# Lakeshore Music & Arts Festival

**June 20–21, 2026 · 11 a.m.**

A free two-day waterfront music and arts festival on Father's Day weekend.

The first edition ran Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with more than thirty acts across three stages.

A free outdoor festival of Canadian music and local arts across multiple stages in Spencer Smith Park, with vendors, food and family programming. Operated by MRG Live, it takes over the Father's Day weekend slot the waterfront has held for decades.

## Editions on record

One row per edition, each against the same year, so where in the calendar this event falls is visible rather than inferred. Editions are added, never overwritten — a year that was cancelled or did not run stays exactly where it was. This record begins with 2026; earlier editions may well have run, and are simply not yet sourced.
