The Peterborough and District Pathway of Fame is celebrating its 25th anniversary in September with a concert featuring 20 performers and speakers — all of whom are Pathway inductees — on the main stage at Showplace Performance Centre in downtown Peterborough.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 10th, which the City of Peterborough and the County of Peterborough will be proclaiming as “Pathway of Fame Day” in honour of the non-profit organization, established in 1997, that celebrates the area’s arts and humanities heritage.
Lasting around two hours, The Pathway in Concert will include performances and presentations by Pathway inductees Al Black, Kenny DesChamp, Sean Eyre, Rick Fines, Rosemary Ganley, Barry Haggarty, Washboard Hank, Graham Hart, Geoff Hewitson, Pat Hooper, Beth McMaster, John Morris, Bea Quarrie, Kate Suhr, Bobby Watson, The Weber Brothers, Megan Murphy, and Paul Rellinger, with the latter two inductees also hosting the event.
Financially sponsored by Pathway inductee David Goyette and supported by Showplace and Cogeco YourTV, the evening will also include a video presentation in memory of musical inductees who have passed on.
Tickets are $25 and are available now at the Showplace box office, by phone at 705-742-7469, by email at boxoffice@showplace.org, or online at tickets.showplace.org.
Nominations for the Pathway of Fame are submitted annually by the public in the categories of visual arts, literary, dramatic arts, entertainment/musical, cultural betterment, community Samaritan, media, and community builder.
