Enbridge Presents: Live at The Square
Every Friday evening from July through October 2025, Windsor’s new City Hall Square plaza will transform into a hub of music, culture, and community with Live at The Square — a free weekly concert series that celebrates some of the best in local talent.
Supported by the Enbridge Fueling Futures grant program, this exciting initiative is more than just a live music event: it’s a cultural experience designed to uplift local talent and bring people together in the heart of our city.
Each performance will showcase the richness and creativity of Windsor’s music scene, with a special focus on emerging artists and culturally diverse voices. No matter who you are or where you’re from, Live at the Square invites you to be part of something special. Come as you are, connect with others, and experience the power of live music in a space built for everyone.
This exciting initiative also aligns with the Strengthen the Core: Downtown Windsor Revitalization Plan’s goals of place-making and creating a vibrant district to attract new residents, visitors, businesses and investments to the city core.
Let’s gather, celebrate, and make downtown Windsor come alive — one Friday night at a time!
