Events

Cobourg retains its small-town atmosphere, in part due to the downtown and surrounding residential area's status as a Heritage Conservation District. The downtown

is a well-preserved example of a traditional small-town main street. The Cobourg Waterfront Festival is an annual arts and crafts event occurring on Canada Day.

It began in 1987 as a part of the town's sesquicentennial celebrations, and was conceived by the Art Gallery of Northumberland's former Director/Curator Peter

Tulumello and former Concert Hall Manager Mark Finnan. In addition to three high schools (Cobourg District Collegiate Institute East (CDCI EAST), CDCI West and St. Mary's Secondary School), Cobourg is home to a satellite campus of Fleming College. Food processing is the largest industry in Cobourg, and it is home to operations of companies like Kraft, and Weetabix. The Cobourg Cougars play in the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.
