CMAOntario Festival & Awards Returns to Port Credit

As proud sponsors of the CMAOntario Festival & Awards, the Port Credit BIA is excited to welcome visitors, artists, and country music fans to our waterfront community for a weekend full of music, storytelling, networking, and celebration.

Taking place at the Port Credit Arena and hosted by Jason Blaine and Sam McDaid, this year’s festival features an exciting lineup of events, including Songs & Stories, The Trail to the Bonfire, the TuneUp Conference, and the CMAOntario Awards Show finale.

Beyond the music, the festival is a chance to experience everything Port Credit has to offer — from local restaurants and shops to beautiful waterfront views and community spirit. Events like these help bring people together and showcase the vibrant energy of the Port all year long.

Visitors planning a weekend stay can enjoy accommodations at the official host hotel, the Waterside Inn, located along the shores of Lake Ontario in the heart of Port Credit.
