Here are ten ways to spend time in Cobourg this September.

Summer is in full swing in Cobourg, and there’s plenty happening this weekend! Enjoy live music, local food, community events, workshops and a full weekend of fun at Northumberland Ribfest.

August in Cobourg is stacked: two festivals, three free outdoor movies, a sailing championship built around a century-old class of racing yacht, and a beach that doesn't need an event to be worth the drive. Here are ten fun ways to spend time in Cobourg this month.

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.

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