Join us on September 12 at 4:00 PM for another unforgettable concert! 🎶
This time, we’re thrilled to welcome the Toronto All-Star Big Band, bringing to life the irresistible swinging sounds of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s.
Get ready for an afternoon filled with big-band energy, timeless favourites, and music that will have your toes tapping!💃🏼
This special concert is also in support of First Presbyterian Church, a key performance venue for our Festival.
Organized by the church, proceeds from the performance will go directly toward its campaign to install air conditioning in the sanctuary, helping make this wonderful venue more comfortable for concertgoers and performers throughout the year.
Come for the music, support an important community venue, and enjoy a spectacular afternoon of swing!

The reminiscing has officially begun… cue all the festival feels.
Today, we’re looking back on a performance that has stayed with us long after the final note.
On July 11, the incredible Dagilėlis Boys’ Choir from Lithuania joined us on the Collingwood Music Festival stage and completely took our breath away.
Their luminous voices, and emotional storytelling transformed the afternoon into something truly unforgettable.
As one of the Baltic region’s most celebrated choirs, they’ve performed everywhere from New York to Beijing, and for one magical afternoon, they shared that same world-class artistry right here in Collingwood.
Thank you Dagilėlis, for reminding us of music’s extraordinary ability to move, connect, and inspire. Until next time. 💙🎶
Few figures have shaped the course of classical music quite like Nadia Boulanger.
As a composer, conductor, and one of history’s most influential teachers, she mentored generations of musicians who would go on to define 20th-century music.
Her philosophy continues to remind us that true artistry isn’t just learned, it’s discovered through curiosity, courage, and a willingness to create something uniquely your own.
Well... that’s a wrap. 🎶✨
The 2026 Collingwood Music Festival Summer Series has officially come to a close, and while we’re sad it’s over, we’re still smiling as we look back on an unforgettable season.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers, dedicated staff, generous sponsors and partners, talented artists, and most importantly, every single one of you who came out to support live music this summer.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support inspires us to keep creating bigger, better, and even more meaningful experiences for our community.
While our Summer Series has come to an end, there’s still more to look forward to!
Join us on September 12 for the Toronto All-Star Big Band, and on December 5 for Men of the Deeps.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for two more incredible performances before the year is over.
See you soon! ❤️🎻
Over the past six years, our festival photographer, Tjalling, has captured nearly every Collingwood Music Festival performance through his lens.
Now, we invite you to look back and reflect on where the festival began, how it has evolved, and the moments of beauty, emotion, and connection preserved through Tjalling’s remarkable photography.
This free exhibition is open at the Simcoe Street Theatre Pressroom Gallery until Saturday, August 1.
The photographs are also available for purchase, with all proceeds helping the festival continue to grow and advance its mission.💫📸
