Peterborough Performs

Set Reminder

March 7th, 2024 7:00PM - 11:00PM

Peterborough Performs will be returning for the fourth year on Thursday, March 7th from 7PM until 11PM at Showplace Performance Centre!

You are going to want to grab your ticket for this incredible event – this year, more than ever we need you to help build and support the vital services that people experiencing homelessness in our community rely on.  Tickets are available at the Showplace Performance Centre Box Office, located at 290 George St. North in Peterborough or online here GET TICKETS NOW!

The Virtual Auction is LIVE! Click Here to Bid Today!

Visit the PTBO Performs Virtual Auction and bid on more than 50 incredible items all donated by local businesses and individuals. Visit the auction from Thursday February 22 to March 7 @ 10 pm. All proceeds will support homelessness initiatives in PTBO City and County!

Peterborough Performs provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy sixteen local music acts who perform simultaneously across two stages with all proceeds funding United Way Peterborough & District Partner Agencies who work to provide housing, shelter and counseling supports to people who are housing insecure in the City and County of Peterborough.

Want to do more?

All of the artists have come forward as volunteers to share their time and talent so that your entire ticket prices will  fund housing and homelessness services and supports locally.  More than any other profession, artists are those who are most frequently asked to deliver their services for free and, as a Living Wage Employer, United Way Peterborough & District strives each year to provide an honorarium to these generous performers.  Some donate it back and some, are overcome with gratitude as they truly can use the extra.  So that all ticket sale proceeds can benefit our Partner Agencies, we have provided a sponsorship opportunity for companies or organizations who want to help build a strong, healthy and vibrant community for us all.

To learn more about sponsorship opportunities with UWP, connect with Sara Mountenay.

🌸 It’s time to break the stigma.

Menstrual health matters and access to products and education should never be a barrier.

Through the Period Promise campaign, United Way Peterborough & District is working to address period poverty in our communities.

On Menstrual Hygiene Day, we call for dignity, access, and inclusion for all.
