Looking for a reason to spend the weekend in Cobourg? September 18–20 is packed with things to see and do, from Paint Night and the waterfront Cigarette Butt Cleanup to the Archives & Museum Open House, Cruise Night with the Hellbent Rockers and the return of Northumberland Film Sundays. Come for the events, stay for the waterfront, downtown shops, local restaurants and everything else Cobourg has to offer.

For generations, Breakers on the Lake has been a special place to stay in Cobourg, tucked along the shores of Lake Ontario with its own sandy beach and beautiful views.

September in Cobourg is when summer starts to ease into fall without giving up the good stuff. There are outdoor movies, live music, a farmers’ market that is still going strong, classic cars, historic open houses, waterfront walks and plenty of reasons to make a day of it. Here are ten ways to spend time in Cobourg this September.
