Peterborough Performs March 2025 - United Way Peterborough & District United Way Peterborough & District

Peterborough Performs V

We are thrilled to announce that the 5th Annual Peterborough Performs-Musicians United to End Homelessness is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th 2025, at Showplace Performance Centre.

Peterborough Performs is uniting the community to highlight the challenges faced by our most vulnerable citizens, with a focus on homelessness as a critical issue. Homelessness goes beyond a lack of shelter—it reflects struggles with safety, stability, and belonging. Addressing it requires a united effort, combining immediate support with lasting solutions. Together, we can ensure everyone has a place to call home.

This year’s event features another incredible lineup, with some new artists joining in the mix.

The Spades
The Weber Brothers Band
