    Cobourg is known for its brilliant waterfront festival, it starts every Canada Day, there is a parade, craft tents, art tents, and a carnival of the pier.

    People come from all over to enjoy the Festival, some come by boats from the U.S....

    Also, concerts in the park, mostly all day there is something going on somewhere!!

    Beautiful Down Town Cobourg!
    *If you ever come to Cobourg Down town is a must see! Town hall is a historic building it is simply amazing with it's very own ball room and court house many prestige plays are put on here.
    *Artfully yours is a unique little art shop with modern arts that would suit creative peoples fancys. The country pumpkin and heat of the village stores are more wood crafts and suit county folk style.
    *The Human bean is a very neet cafe some times they have special guests that preform musiclly.Its a great place to unwind because of it cozy atmosphere.

    Festival of Lights
    Around the time when all homes are lighting there Christmas lights, Cobourg enjoys the same together. The entire community typically meets up at Victoria Hall and walks down to Victoria park, which is down the street, carrying candles and singing Christmas carols. Once everyone arrives they countdown and all of the park lights up with the beautiful display arranged that year. Every Christmas season you can see bus tours going through the streets to show off our display, and it is truly beautiful. Despite the bitter cold air, it will warm your heart and remind you of childhood Christmas'.

    Christmas Magic in the Park
    Christmas Magic in the Park 2003 - Cobourg
    Christmas Magic in the Park
    2003

    As I mentioned in my introduction to Cobourg, Christmas Magic is an annual event and takes place in Victoria Park, Cobourg’s lakefront and beach park. Every year there is a different theme and the whole park is decorated in Christmas Lights. It is so beautiful to see especially on clear winter nights. The band shell is always the most decorated it has different scenery in it that is theme related. See my travelogue on Christmas Magic for more pictures. In 2004 Christmas Magic will be open November 26th to January 1st. Also on the first Friday night that the lights are open there is a lighting ceremony. Everyone meets at Victoria Hall, which is on the main street, and there are carol sings there and everyone gets a lit candle. After the festivities at the hall are over, everyone follows a local youth choir singing Christmas carols down to Victoria Park. At the park there are more events, singers etc., and then a countdown to the lights. After the lights are on there is more music and Santa is there for kids to visit. It’s lots of fun and I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area at the time.

    The Waterfront Festival
    During the waterfront festival in July, Cobourg is very alive. There are thousands of people at the waterfront and there is always something going on down there. There is a theme park/carnival on the pear, where people can go to play games or go on rides. Then there is also live music at the bandshell in Victoria Park. Also in Victoria Park, there are many small shops set up where people can buy cool stuff.

    Biggest Event In Cobourg
    If you are going to travel to Cobourg at any time of year you should come at the beginning of July where we hold our annual Waterfront Festival. There are things to do for everyone. There are many tents filled with local art, a midway with rides, little vendors where you can buy clothing or things to eat. And on July 1 we have a firework display. You shouldnt miss it. If you're coming from the states or anywhere in the area you can drive your boat and park it in the harbour for the weekend.

    Water Front
    If your coming to Cobourg during the summer you have to visit the beautiful water front. You can relax on the beach and if you haev an RV or trailor, or even a tent, u can rent a camp site located right on the beach! If you are planning on visiting during the July 1st weekend be sure to stop by for the annual waterfront festival. The whole town comes to life on this weekend, its a whole weekend of fun that ends with fireworks.
