Tonight in the Bay

Live music in Blue Mountain, Collingwood & Wasaga Beach

From a Village pub with a band every single night of the year to open mics, karaoke nights and two historic theatres, South Georgian Bay has more live music than most visitors expect. These are the rooms that put music on regularly, each with its own schedule and official link.
