“Riverfest Elora is more than just performances – it’s an opportunity to bring the community together to share in the art and music that inspire us,” stated recently-appointed festival manager Sonia Cheng.

“The festival is built on the passion of our 500-plus volunteers who make it all happen.

“We can’t wait to celebrate our big 15th anniversary with all of you.”
