Music Meets the Water: Le Boat Invites Travelers to Experience Live Performances Along Ontario’s Trent-Severn Waterway

This September, travelers exploring Ontario’s Trent-Severn Waterway can add live music to their boating adventure.

PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, CANADA, September 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This September, travellers exploring Ontario’s Trent-Severn Waterway can add live music to their boating adventure as Le Boat highlights a series of free performances taking place throughout the region from September 11–17, 2026.

The week-long celebration, Music on the Water, will feature Ontario singer-songwriter and producer Jordan Holman, performing under his musical project, Kentucky. Known for his distinctive blend of rock, folk, blues, pop and singer-songwriter influences — a sound he describes as “Northern Americana” — Holman will bring live performances to several of the Trent-Severn’s most popular waterfront communities.

Travelling aboard a Le Boat Horizon 4, Holman will make stops along the waterway, creating a unique opportunity for both boaters and visitors to experience live music while discovering the communities, restaurants, markets and attractions that make the Trent-Severn a favourite Ontario boating destination.

Experience the Trent-Severn by Boat

Stretching 386 kilometers from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay, the Trent-Severn Waterway offers a unique combination of historic locks, scenic waterways, lakeside communities and outdoor experiences.

For travelers looking to experience Music on the Water, a houseboating vacation provides an opportunity to make the journey part of the adventure. Le Boat’s Peterborough base provides access to routes through the Kawartha Lakes and along the Trent-Severn Waterway from Trenton to Kirkfield, with itineraries that can include destinations such as Peterborough, Lakefield, Burleigh Falls, Buckhorn and Bobcaygeon.

Le Boat vacations do not require a boating license, and guests receive instruction before setting out on their journey, making it possible for first-time boaters to captain their own holiday. “Music has a way of bringing people together, and there’s something particularly special about experiencing live music beside the water,” says Lisa Mclean, Marketing Manager at Le Boat. “Music on the Water gives visitors another way to connect with the communities along the Trent-Severn while enjoying the freedom of travelling by boat.”
