About Us
Musicians Christmas in Collingwood is a heartfelt celebration that brings together local musicians and music lovers for a special cause each holiday season. Born out of a shared love for music and a deep commitment to giving back, this annual event started as a small gathering of local talent in Collingwood and has since blossomed into a beloved community tradition.
For 2024, we are proud to announce that Musicians Christmas will be supporting Hospice Georgian Triangle, an organization close to our hearts. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to benefit the hospice’s compassionate care services. Hospice Georgian Triangle provides essential end-of-life care and support to patients and their families in our region, offering comfort, dignity, and peace during some of life's most difficult moments.
The inspiration behind Musicians Christmas lies in the legacy of Paul Young, the event’s beloved founder. Paul was a talented musician and a driving force in Collingwood’s music scene. He created Musicians Christmas with the vision of uniting local artists to share their music while giving back to the community. In his final days, Paul himself was supported by the wonderful care of Hospice Georgian Triangle. This year's event is especially meaningful as we honor his memory and the incredible support he received from the hospice.

Musicians Christmas is not just a concert; it's a celebration of community, creativity, and compassion. Each year, we invite musicians from all walks of life, genres, and backgrounds to share their art with the town in a spirit of togetherness. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an up-and-coming artist, Musicians Christmas is a stage for all, where the power of music brings joy and inspiration.
At its core, Musicians Christmas is about giving back. The proceeds from our events go directly to charitable causes, and this year, we're excited to partner with Hospice Georgian Triangle. As we strive to reach our fundraising goal, we are reminded of the values of generosity, kindness, and community that Paul held dear.
We are proud to be part of Collingwood's vibrant music scene and grateful to all who have contributed to making Musicians Christmas the magical event it has become. Together, we harmonize to uplift and spread the true spirit of Christmas—through music, love, and giving.
