Dates for the coming season

Sidelaunch Days was scheduled for August 7–9, 2026 on Collingwood’s waterfront. The town’s programme included music, family activities and paddling experiences, and it recorded a weather-related concert relocation. For the next edition, book against newly published dates and keep the daily plan flexible.

The Sidelaunch update matters as much as the programme

Collingwood’s official page moved its August 8 concert to an indoor venue because of weather. That is a concrete reason to check the event update before leaving your accommodation. The 2026 programme is useful evidence of the festival’s character, but neither its performers nor its activity access conditions automatically carry into another year.

Organize a waterfront outing with a meeting time

Choose a return-to-chalet time before people separate for different activities. Give children’s belongings one designated carrier and keep a dry change of clothes available for anyone planning to participate on the water. Follow each operator’s participation rules; watching an activity does not mean everyone can join it without registration.

Fit Sidelaunch into a shared summer stay

Family chalet rentals let the party share breakfast before heading to town. Read the August stay guide for the accommodation season and parking information for your car plan. A festival location is separate from the chalet’s four parking spaces; check town parking instructions for the event itself.
