Cobourg’s shoreline is full of surprises — including tiny driftwood houses hidden along West Beach. Created by local artist Rod, these miniature pieces are part of The Little Houses of Cobourg, a growing project designed to spark curiosity and exploration. Keep an eye out during your next walk, snap a photo if you find one, and discover a small piece of creativity tucked into the waterfront.

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.
