So much music, so much fun. Every year in June, music takes over Burlington Downtown and Waterfront. The largest local music event of the year features an eclectic combination of emerging artists, blasts from the past and current performers. Activities include the Kick-off Concert, Sound of Music Club Series, Grande Festival Parade, free concerts for four days on Father’s Day Weekend, Downtown Streetfest, Silver Series, Children’s Village, carnival and vendors. Bring the whole family, you’ll find something for everyone.

The Grand Parade featuress marching bands from across Canada and the United States, the Festival’s official mascot “Maestro”, and whimsical floats and performers. Feel like a kid again with everything from thrill rides, Ferris wheels and easy-going train rides, there is something for everyone at the Carnival.
This year we have combined Family Zone with Streetfest to give people of all ages an eclectic mix of music, dancing and shopping, along with many other activities. Enjoy the animation and fun as the streets of Downtown Burlington come alive with outdoor patios, performers and sidewalk sales. In addition to live music and amazing food, one of the Festival’s favourite attractions is the midway!
