Cornwall Ontario – Arts in the Park is back for it’s 40th season! – and it promises to be a great one.

Cornwall Arts in the Park 2025

The annual concert series returns with a lineup of 28 free concerts and an outdoor movie on select nights in June, July and August. All shows begin at 7 pm (weather permitting) at the Lions Club Bandshell located at the East end of Lamoureux next to the Civic Complex. Make sure to arrive early to secure the best view or to have a spot on the included benches at the venue.

The event is a staple in Cornwall known for being the place to watch a wide variety of bands from Cornwall and the area. With genres ranging from Celtic/folk to 80s and 90s Dad Rock there’s sure to be the perfect band to watch live. There is ample free parking at the nearby Cornwall Civic Complex

Now in its 40th year, Arts in the Park has become a mainstay of Cornwall’s summer events calendar.

It’s a family-friendly activity that everyone can enjoy, bring some lawn chairs or a blanket and relax and enjoy some great music right on the waterfront.
