2010 Peak to Shore Music & Art Festival
Downtown Streets Filled With Art & Great Music

One of the big summertime hits in downtown Collingwood last summer was the Peak to Shore Music Fest. The downtown streets were filled with the sounds of great music, performed by some of the finest musicians from Canada.

Fast forward one year and the festival was back, bigger and better, for 2002. The former Collingwood Jazz and Blues Festival and the Blues at Blue Festival came together to launch the new format in 2009, and one year later, a large art festival joined in to make the event a true celebration of artistic talents in music, song and artistic expression.

Frank McNulty off JBG Promotions said the marriage produced a bigger, better, regional event. "I think this is the future. This is the way it's going to be. It's a terrific example of interplay between Blue Mountain Resort and the Town of Collingwood, and I think it's terrific for everyone involved."

The Peak to Shore Music Fest featured stages in Thornbury, throughout the Village at Blue Mountain and throughout Downtown Collingwood. JD Moffat of Mix 106.5 hosted the Saturday stage on Pine Street. BIA General Manager Sue Nicholson said that combining the downtown Farmers' Market, art show and music performances made the Pine Street location a popular destination during the festival.
