Peterborough Celebrates 2026, Peterborough
May 16, 2026 - May 17, 2026

Back for its fifth year, this free-to-attend weekend festival promises to be another fabulous celebration of our city and all the reasons we love it – our culture, our music, our diversity and our talented communities.

This year we’re linking up with the National Year of Reading and will fill our festival with stories – not just in books but in music, poetry, performances, our communities and in everyone’s lives and experiences. Join us to tell your story!

And of course, you’ll still find all the things you love about the festival – world food vendors, a lively bar, amusements, local craft stalls and plenty of surprises around every corner.
Mark your calendars and keep an eye here for more updates over the coming weeks. We can’t wait to celebrate our city and stories with you!
