Toronto's Waterfront Festival Returns to Sugar Beach this September

Flying dogs, pirates, soldiers, live music, activities, free samples, beautiful views, ships, entertainment, delicious food, sand, sun and so much more!

The award winning Toronto Waterfront Festival, which last year brought back the World’s Largest Rubber Duck, will return to Toronto this fall.

The festival will be held at Sugar Beach from September 14-15, 2024 and will feature the Canine Watersports Canada competition (CWC). CWC is a premiere dog dock jumping competition with a variety of cute pups diving, jumping and fetching into a 45ft pool on land. The festival previously included dog jumping competitions in 2014 and 2015 and it was a fan-favourite.

The Toronto Waterfront Festival, which is a not-for-profit, will remain a free event, but for the first time in the festival’s 14 year history, festival producers are asking attendees to voluntarily pay what they can to help offset government funding cutbacks.

The festival, which is in partnership with The Waterfront BIA, will also welcome the tall ship Empire Sandy, the Canadian Armed Forces, Pirate Life Theatre, pop-up entertainment presented by Redpath, interactive cultural activities, food and sponsor giveaways.
