Building on the annual festival favourites, organizers are excited to bring a new, fresh, youthful, open-air music festival to the mix and bring everyone together to celebrate the season in Victoria Park.  

"Endless Summer will help us keep the summer going into September as the festival highlights some of Canada’s newest top talent, along with artists and businesses from across our community,” said Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic. “We’re inviting music fans from across southern Ontario to join us for the first year of this incredible festival, in what I am sure will be an unforgettable celebration as we look to wind up Summer 2024!”

Local food trucks and a licensed bar area will bring the flavours of the city to the festival grounds.
