The Municipality of Leamington, in partnership with the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee and The Bank Theatre, is excited to announce the kick-off of Leamington’s 150th anniversary celebration as part of the Music Onthe42 Summer Concert Series.

This historic event, headlined by country music legend Terri Clark, will take place on Canada Day, July 1, 2024!

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Leamington’s SUNSET® Amphitheatre in Seacliff Park, the evening promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music and community spirit.

This free, un-ticketed concert will begin at 6:30 PM with a captivating performance by the talented Michelle Wright. The spotlight then shifts to Terri Clark, who will take center stage at 8:30 PM, enchanting the audience with her legendary talents.

The celebration will reach its grand finale with a display of fireworks over Lake Erie beginning at 10:00 PM. This finale will light up the sky in honour of Leamington’s sesquicentennial year and Canada Day, ensuring the 150th-anniversary celebration kicks off with an unforgettable event of light and sound.

“As we gather to celebrate this significant milestone in Leamington’s history, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee for their dedication and hard work,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

“It’s through their efforts that we’re able to bring our community together for such a magnificent celebration. This event is a testament to the vibrant spirit of Leamington and its people, and I invite everyone to join us in this celebration.”
