Local Buzz: Cobourg in the News

Celebrate International Women’s Day with InspiHER – Local Women in Business on Friday morning at Venture13, then keep the energy going all weekend with comedy shows, live music, hands-on workshops, community fundraisers, family programming, and two incredible days at Victoria Hall: jazz cabaret evening on Saturday and the Sweet Water Country concert on Sunday afternoon. 

From karaoke nights and creative experiences, Cobourg is full of ways to connect and celebrate.

After years on the road, Tom Hall made Cobourg home — and a chance meeting with Al Brisco led to the creation of Sweet Water. Now 24+ years strong, the band features world-class talent: Steve Piticco (Dolly Parton), Don Reed (Dwight Yoakam), Steve O’Connor (Blue Rodeo / The Jim Cuddy Band), Hall of Famer Dusty King Jr., and Grand Ole Opry performer Doug Johnson.

Decades of experience. Pure classic country. Don’t miss them at Victoria Hall Concert Hall — get your tickets now.
