Wintersong Music Festival returns
Now in its sixth year, the Wintersong Music Festival has become a beloved tradition in Stouffville and beyond.
Born out of the 2017 Guinness World Record for the Longest Concert by Multiple Artists—a 16-day musical marathon that raised over $100,000 for charity and was featured on Breakfast Television—Wintersong celebrates music, community, and connection during the heart of winter.
This year’s festival will showcase over 100 performances across 15+ venues, including Harmony Hall, and will feature a stunning lineup of talent.
Headlining the official Wintersong pre-party on January 23 is the internationally acclaimed band Bedouin Soundclash, known for its dynamic mix of reggae, ska, and rock.
Wintersong is a free-to-attend festival emphasizing inclusivity and diversity, with gender-parity representation and performances by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists. It has become a critical driver of winter tourism in York Region, boosting the local economy while providing a much-needed burst of warmth and creativity during the colder months.
Running from January 23 to 25, this year’s Wintersong Music Festival offers something for everyone. Whether you’re a music aficionado, a family looking for weekend fun, or simply someone seeking inspiration during winter’s chill, this festival delivers an experience not to be missed.
