This is the greatest small-town summer music festival in Canada. Check out the lineup for Elora Riverfest 2025.
Elora is a wonderfully picturesque town on the Grand River about 90 minutes northwest of Toronto. With a population of less than 4,000, it’s an unlikely place for a kickass summer music festival–yet they manage it year after year.
The 2025 edition of Elora Riverfest is set for Bissell Park on August 15-17. The lineup includes:
- City and Colour
- Fitz and the Tantrums
- Silversun Pickups
- Marcy Playground
- Wheatus
- Tune-Yeards
- Dear Rouge
- Yukon Blonde
- Tom Wilson
- Rich Aucoin
- And almost three dozen other acts.
Sounds like it’s worth a roadtrip from the GTA, no?
