The Barns2Beaches Music Tour, featuring the Emerging Artist Program Showcase, rolls into downtown Barrie on Saturday, August 23, 2025!
Join us at Meridian Place (30 Simcoe St) at 7:00 PM for a free, family-friendly concert celebrating Canada’s rising musical talent. Enjoy an evening of 100% Canadian music, featuring original songs and vibrant medleys of iconic Canadian hits.
Presented by the Canadian Musicians Co-operative, this high-energy showcase is the perfect summer night out for music lovers of all ages!
The Emerging Artist Program is a music-industry incubator that sees local youth employed full-time for the summer in the music sector. Artists, techs, managers, and more receive hands-on training and skills development, then cap-off their summer employment with a showcase concert for the community.
Creative Barrie is a proud supporter of the Emerging Artist Program.
