So where the heck is Port Perry?

This small, friendly town is located approximately 45 minutes northeast of Toronto, Ontario and sits on the southwestern shores of Lake Scugog.

Port Perry's downtown is steps away from our festival site and contains a vibrant selection of businesses, restaurants and amenities. You'll find that shop owners and restaurateurs alike will welcome you with a smile and hospitality that will keep you coming back for more!

It's easy to get here with major roads approaching from all directions. Our festival site is on the Trent-Severn Waterway — you can come by boat!

Palmer Park is home to a playground, baseball diamonds, community centre, public wharfs, Scugog Island Cruises and the Port Perry Marina.

There's plenty to see and do while spending a day in Port Perry!

Drop Off and Parking Instructions

Parking overflow is a natural result of increased crowds, therefore the Festival Committee will be implementing off-site parking with a shuttle service on Saturday, June 16, 2012. The easiest way to load and unload your team and gear is to car pool your team prior to driving to Port Perry. The fewer cars, the easier it is to manage parking and drop offs.

ALL participants MUST park at the Scugog Community Recreation Centre Parking Lot located at 1655 Reach Street in Port Perry (just a little more than a block West of Simcoe Street.) Shuttle buses will be available to transport all participants throughout the day. Buses are scheduled to run approximately every 15 minutes. Please use this parking service to alleviate the intense congestion in the downtown area on Festival Day.

Vehicles parked illegally may be tagged and/or towed at the owner’s expense by the order of the Township of Scugog.
