Music, history, and stunning waterfront views come together this summer as Music from the Rooftop returns to Joseph Brant Museum in Burlington. Running on select evenings from July 10 to August 21, 2026, the popular concert series offers an intimate outdoor experience overlooking Burlington’s downtown waterfront while showcasing talented local musicians.

Hosted on the museum’s scenic Rooftop Terrace, the series combines live entertainment with cultural exploration. Consequently, guests can enjoy an evening that blends music, art, and community in one memorable setting.

Enjoy Live Music with a Spectacular View

Each event begins with doors opening at 6:30 p.m., giving visitors time to explore the museum before the live performance starts at 7:30 p.m. Concerts run until approximately 8:30 p.m., allowing audiences to relax as the sun sets over Lake Ontario.

Moreover, every ticket includes admission to the museum’s galleries. Visitors can browse the current special exhibition, eat make share: a taste of immigration, before heading upstairs for the evening’s performance.

The combination of live music and museum access creates a unique cultural outing that appeals to both music lovers and history enthusiasts.

Four local performers will take the rooftop stage throughout the summer:
