September means that we’re gearing up to bring our annual delegation of Ontarians to Germany for Reeperbahn Festival! MusicOntario is partnering with CIMA and Ontario Creates for our 10th year at one of Germany’s biggest export events.
As part of Canada House, we'll be hosting six Ontario artists at uwe, right in the middle of all the action on the Reeperbahn over two full days of live Canadian music on from September 17-18, 2026.
Germany is the 5th largest music market in the world, according to IFPI's 2025 Global Music Report on the state of the industry. Reeperbahn Festival attracts thousands of artists and music industry professionals from across the globe to Hamburg for four days of music, professional development, art, and more.
