Waterside Sponsors

Wise, Generous and Supportive "Owls"

Waterside Summer Series Music Festival, a registered charity, is funded primarily from two sources - sponsorships and ticket sales. The financial support of sponsors allows the Waterside organization to offer exceptional musical presentations at affordable prices, thereby furthering the mission to provide classical music in a somewhat remote rural setting.

By becoming a sponsor, you support the mission of Waterside and you receive a charitable donation receipt for your contribution. Sponsors are also invited to the popular, post concert potluck dinners where the performers and the sponsors enjoy time together in lovely Amherst Island homes.

Because two of the major annual events on Amherst Island are the Waterside Summer Series Music Festival and the annual migration of a variety of owls, the wise, generous and thoughtful people who provide financial support to Waterside are fondly referred to as "Owls". Their "species" is determined by the amount of donation they give, from the loyal saw-whets ($100) to the stately great grey owls ($500+), and several in between. All are needed and appreciated.

Please consider becoming a Waterside Owl. Your donation can be mailed to Waterside Summer Series Music Festival, c/o Stephen Kendall, 7375 Third Concession, Stella, ON K0H 2S0.

Thank you!

Enjoy Waterside in 2025

Waterside Summer Series Music Festival (aka "Waterside") is a registered, not-for-profit charitable corporation with a mission to present excellent, primarily classical, music entertainment in the intimate setting of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church on Amherst Island. Although "Waterside" originated as a fundraiser for St. Alban's Anglican Church in 1994 and then operated in association with Loyalist Township for many successful years, the organization became totally independent after acquiring charitable status in 2016.

Amherst Island, a place of tranquility and natural beauty, is just a half-hour drive from downtown Kingston, west along the Loyalist Parkway. The ferry leaves the mainland every hour on the half-hour.

All concerts take place at St. Paul’s, just south of Stella. Tickets cost $45 (unless otherwise noted) and include refreshments served during the 20-minute intermission.
