A big end-of-summer music weekend in Sauble
Close out summer at Sauble Beach Party with major acts, festival camping, and high-energy nights—paired perfectly with daytime beach time on Georgian Bay.
Event details
Ontario’s second-longest freshwater beach cranks up the volume for Labour Day weekend when Sauble Beach Party returns to Sauble Speedway on September 4 to 6, 2026.
This year’s sixth annual festival brings 32 artists across multiple genres, headlined by country star Chris Young, pop-punk legends Simple Plan, and hip-hop icon Flo Rida. You’ll also catch Mitchell Tenpenny, 3OH!3, Marianas Trench, and Faber Drive closing out Sunday night.
General admission and VIP tickets are available, with VIP perks including private bathrooms, shorter lines, and grandstand access. The festival grounds, 1095 Bruce Road 14 Rd in Hepworth, offer 125 campsites for those with weekend passes, plus 450 parking spots and shuttle services from town. Quiet hours run from 1 AM to 7 AM, and the festival is cashless, so bring your cards.
Beyond the music, you’ll find a mechanical bull, soccer and hockey shooting games, food trucks, and an artisan market where you can snag a custom cowboy hat.
When you’re not festival-hopping, Sauble Beach itself calls your name. The 11-kilometer sandy shoreline offers some of the warmest freshwater swimming in Ontario, with shallow entry perfect for families. Rent a kayak or paddleboard from local outfitters, or simply stake out a spot near the iconic Sauble Beach sign for people-watching and sunset views.
For meals, Beach Burger, founded 2002, serves flame-broiled burgers and Sauble Wobble Beer on their Main Street patio, while Heydays at The June Motel offers coastal classics and poolside dining. The Dunes Restaurant and Bar provides beachfront views and fresh perch dinners if you want your toes in the sand while you eat.
Book a lakefront cottage through Lake.com to extend your weekend beyond the campground, where you can wake up to Georgian Bay breezes and morning coffee on a private dock. Colpoy’s Bay, just 20 minutes south in Wiarton, offers calmer waters for kayaking and snorkeling over shallow shipwrecks.
This festival draws 20,000 attendees annually and donates proceeds to the Bruce Peninsula Hospital Foundation, so your ticket supports both live music and local healthcare. Arrive early Friday for the best camping spots, and pack layers for cool September evenings around the campfire.
