GOODBEAT WEEKENDER 2026

​

August 28 – 30, 2026​

Three Days | Four Events | One Community

​

This summer, Goodbeat returns for its 5th Annual Weekender, bringing together music lovers, dancers, DJs, and friends for four days of connection, celebration, and unforgettable moments.

 

What began as a gathering of like-minded music lovers has grown into a weekend-long experience rooted in community, culture, and a shared love for deep, soulful, and dancefloor-driven music. From intimate all-vinyl sessions and hometown heroes to our first-ever boat party, Goodbeat Weekender 2026 is a celebration of the people, places, and sounds that have helped shape our journey over the past five years.

​

More than a series of events, the Goodbeat Weekender is about creating spaces where music brings people together, friendships are formed, and memories are made.

​

THE WEEKENDER EXPERIENCE

 

Friday, Aug 28 | Boogie

The Warm Up -We kick off the Weekender with an intimate night dedicated to the art of music selection. Expect an all-vinyl, all-everything journey through house, disco, soul, jazz, funk, boogie, Afro, Latin, rare groove, and beyond. It's a chance for music lovers, dancers, and friends to reconnect, catch up, and set the tone for an unforgettable weekend together.

 

Saturday, Aug 29| Unity Studio

The Foundations celebrates the DJs, dancers, promoters, and music lovers who helped shape Toronto's vibrant house music community. Set inside Unity Studio's unique loft-style space, this special daytime gathering brings together an all-star lineup of local talent for an afternoon and evening of music, connection, and community. With a laid-back atmosphere, BBQ, good vibes, and the people who helped build the culture, The Foundations is a celebration of our roots and the sounds that continue to move us forward.

Sunday, Aug 30 | Stella Borealis

For the first time in Goodbeat Weekender history, we're taking the celebration to the water in partnership with the Soulcial House Crew. Join us aboard the Stella Borealis as we gather for lunch and sail Lake Ontario with some of the scene's top DJs and special guests. Expect deep and soulful house music, great food, stunning waterfront views, and an unforgettable afternoon surrounded by good people and good vibes. Close out the summer in style.

Sunday, Aug 30 | Boogie
