Celebrating Collingwood’s rich maritime heritage and the breath-taking beauty of Southern Georgian Bay at Sidelaunch Days 2025. A vibrant, family-friendly harbourfront festival took place on August 8th, 9th & 10th.
Hoist the sails and tune the fiddles! This annual bash is a rollicking salute to our shipbuilding roots and water-loving ways. From tall ship adventures and toe-tapping live music to scrumptious waterfront bites, paddle tryouts, and quirky pop-ups, there’s a treasure trove of fun had by all. Drop anchor for the weekend in 2026 – your crew’s in for a whale of a time!


Sidelaunch Days is proudly sponsored by FRAM + Slokker, Collingwood Quay Condos, Living Water Retirement Residence, Blu Wave, and Side Launch Brewery, with support from Canadian Tire and community partners.
