Thank you for joining us for the 4th annual Porchside Festival! As we reflect on the incredible performances and vibrant community spirit that filled the porches of historic homes in Collingwood this past July, we’re already planning next year’s lineup of captivating shows.

Each summer, we come together on these storied porches to celebrate the arts and the resilience of our community. What began in 2020 as a creative response to the challenges of the pandemic has blossomed into a beloved tradition. Under the visionary leadership of Erica, Theatre Collingwood’s Executive Director, Porchside Festival continues to thrive, bringing unforgettable live performances into the open air.

Next year, we invite you to once again experience the magic of live theatre and music, where every show starts with the unique stories of the porches that host them. Whether you’re drawn to powerful dramas or soulful musical performances, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The shared experience of gathering with friends, family, and neighbors creates a sense of belonging that lingers long after the final curtain call.

Mark your calendars and join us next July as we celebrate creativity, community, and the joy of coming together. Porchside Festival is where history meets art, and where new memories are made under the summer sky.
