CITY OF SAULT STE. MARIE
*************************
The Sault Downtown Plaza and Sault Downtown Association serve up more than just cheese curds and gravy this Canada Day weekend.

Get ready for five days of flavour, fun, and fantastic music. Poutine Feast 2025 features headliners Goodnight Sunrise on Saturday, June 28 at 8 p.m.

The event, which runs from Friday, June 27 to Tuesday, July 1, transforms the Sault Downtown Plaza into a bustling hub of activity. It features poutine vendors, local folk and rock acts, DJs, lawn games, and a fully licensed bar serving cold pints and refreshing spritzers.

Known for their high-octane performances and dual lead vocals, Toronto-based Goodnight Sunrise takes the stage on Saturday night. Since forming in 2011, the band has carved out a reputation across Canada for genre-blending shows that bring the crowd to life, making them the perfect act to headline this celebration.

Event Hours:

  • June 27–30: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
  • Canada Day, July 1: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

On Saturday, June 28, guests can pair their poutine feast experience with a stop at the Soo MRKT, which opens from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., just steps away from the plaza.

Whether you're in for the fries, the music, or the patio vibes, Poutine Feast 2025 is the downtown destination this Canada Day weekend.
