August

This all-day music festival takes over a block of downtown Peterborough, transforming the street into a venue for the area’s many talented musical acts, as well as a few well-curated imports.

Past performers include: Sloan, Bloodshot Bill, Melissa Payne, The Weber Brothers, USS, The Sadies, The Dears, Hollerado, and many more.

While taking in the all-day performances, attendees will find local food and wares on offer in vendors’ tents that line Peterborough’s popular Hunter St. café district.

The Hootenanny takes place in August, is in its tenth year, and remains free to the public.
