Where to Go
The concert will take place at Victoria Fields, located across from the Abilities Centre at the north end of the park. If you’ve been to Whitby Ribfest, you know exactly where it is! Victoria Fields is the same location that hosts Ribfest PLUS, making it a familiar and accessible spot for community gatherings.
Parking? No problem! Free parking is available at the Whitby GO Station and Iroquois Arena, both within easy walking distance. If you need accessible parking, there’s a small lot directly north of the Ribfest Grounds where spaces will be reserved for those with accessibility needs.
Rain or Shine!
This event is rain or shine, so don’t let a little drizzle stop you from enjoying a night of live music. Grab your umbrella, throw on a rain jacket, and come ready to dance no matter what the weather brings!
Bring the Whole Family
One of the best parts about this event? It’s completely family-friendly! Kids are welcome to join in the fun—this isn’t a 19+ event. There will be plenty of space for families to set up toward the back if they prefer to sit, while those looking to get closer to the stage can join the crowd up front, where people are likely to be on their feet dancing all night long.
No Cost, Just Good Vibes
Here’s the best part: It’s free! There’s no cost to attend this epic concert, though if you’d like to support the Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise and their many community initiatives, donations will be gratefully accepted at the gate. Every dollar donated will go directly toward helping those in need right here in Whitby.
You can donate in cash, debit, or credit, making it easy to give back while enjoying an amazing night of live music. The Rotary Club has long been committed to building a stronger community, and every contribution helps further their mission.
Food, Drinks, and More
Come hungry! A variety of food trucks and vendors will be serving up delicious bites throughout the night, from savory snacks to sweet treats. And of course, you won’t want to miss the Ribfest Bar, where you can grab a cold beer, wine, or cooler to enjoy during the show. For those preferring non-alcoholic options, pop and water will also be available.
Dance the Night Away
While there will be some seating available toward the back of the venue, this concert is all about getting up and moving. With Dwayne Gretzky’s energetic performance, you’ll likely want to be on your feet and dancing near the stage. Whether you're an avid dancer or just want to sway along, there’s plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the show in their own way.
All Are Welcome!
There’s no need to leave anyone at home—this event is for everyone! With wide-open spaces, accessible facilities, and a family-friendly atmosphere, everyone is invited to join in the fun. Porta-potties and hand-washing stations will be available throughout the grounds, including some classified as accessible.
So, gather your friends, pack up the family, and head down to Victoria Fields on July 11th for a night of great music, community spirit, and memories you won’t soon forget.
