For generations, Breakers on the Lake has been a special place to stay in Cobourg, tucked along the shores of Lake Ontario with its own sandy beach and beautiful views. But for one Michigan family, it has become so much more than a vacation spot — it’s where 65 summers of family memories and traditions have been made.

Summer is still in full swing in Cobourg, and this weekend is packed with ways to get out and enjoy the waterfront, downtown and local attractions. The big highlight is Saturday night’s Tragically Hip: A National Celebration 10th Anniversary Rebroadcast at Cobourg Marina, bringing music, memories and a special Canadian moment to the waterfront.

And with the 29th annual Cobourg Salmon and Trout Derby running until August 22, there’s still plenty of time for anglers to get out on the water and see what’s biting!

September in Cobourg is when summer starts to ease into fall without giving up the good stuff. There are outdoor movies, live music, a farmers’ market that is still going strong, classic cars, historic open houses, waterfront walks and plenty of reasons to make a day of it. Here are ten ways to spend time in Cobourg this September.
