The award-winning Toronto Waterfront Festival, renowned for bringing back the World’s Largest Rubber Duck last year, has announced its 2024 event dates. This year, the festival will be held at Sugar Beach from September 14-15, 2024, featuring an exciting lineup of activities and attractions.
Event Highlights
Canine Watersports Canada Competition (CWC): The festival will host the CWC, a premier dog dock jumping competition where adorable pups will dive, jump, and fetch into a 45-foot pool on land. This fan-favorite event was previously included in the 2014 and 2015 festivals.
Tall Ship Empire Sandy: The majestic tall ship will be present, adding a nautical charm to the festival.
Canadian Armed Forces: They will showcase interactive displays and activities.
Pirate Life Theatre: Expect thrilling performances and pirate-themed adventures.
Pop-Up Entertainment: Presented by Redpath, featuring spontaneous performances and engaging activities.
Interactive Cultural Activities: Offering a variety of engaging and educational experiences.
Food and Sponsor Giveaways: A diverse array of food options and exciting giveaways from sponsors.
Voluntary Contributions
For the first time in its 14-year history, the Toronto Waterfront Festival is asking attendees to voluntarily pay what they can. Despite remaining a free event, this change comes in response to rising operational costs and reduced government funding.
“Our mandate has always been to bring free, family-friendly, water-themed entertainment to Toronto’s Waterfront, and we will continue to do that for as long as we can,” says Michael Riehl, Chair of the Toronto Waterfront Festival. “However, with the rising operations costs and dramatic reduction in government funding from all levels this year, it is a very tough time for most festivals and events in Ontario. As a result, we are asking our visitors to pay what they can to help in any small way to continue to keep the festival alive.”
The festival, in partnership with The Waterfront BIA, aims to provide a vibrant and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
Mark your calendars for September 14-15, 2024, and come down to Sugar Beach to enjoy this beloved Toronto event, filled with fun activities, great food, and unforgettable entertainment.
