WAMBO IS BACK! Get ready for one unforgettable August weekend in Wallaceburg!

Live music. Amazing food. Cold drinks. Street vendors. Classic cars. Antique boats. Family fun. Fireworks. Entertainment everywhere you turn.

Get ready for one of Southwestern Ontario’s most exciting summer traditions as WAMBO returns to Wallaceburg, Ontario from August 7–9, 2026. Every year, thousands of visitors fill the downtown core and waterfront to experience an unforgettable weekend of live entertainment, classic cars, antique boats, motorcycles, food vendors, shopping, family activities, and community celebration. With the Sydenham River as its backdrop and small-town hospitality at its heart, WAMBO transforms Wallaceburg into a vibrant festival destination all weekend long.

WAMBO stands for Wallaceburg Antique Motor and Boat Outing, a tradition that began in 1989 and has grown into one of Canada’s largest transportation festivals. What started as a local celebration of Wallaceburg’s rich automotive and boat-building heritage has become a major annual event that brings together visitors, collectors, families, and volunteers from across the region. Whether you come for the music, the nostalgia, the waterfront atmosphere, or the incredible displays, WAMBO is a celebration of community, history, and summer at its best.

Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your dancing shoes and join us at WAMBO 38!
