Ontario Liberty Fest

05/21/2026

We’re just over one month away from the 2026 Ontario Liberty Fest, and this year is going to be bigger than ever!

Fireworks are always a favorite, but in 2026, we’re taking it to another level with a high-powered laser show before and during the fireworks, synchronized to a special America 250th Tribute on Mix 106.1 FM.

The laser show will take place inside Marshall Park, shooting across the park above the crowd for an incredible one-of-a-kind experience. To see the full effect, you’ll need to be in Marshall Park, so be sure to grab your spot in the park, at the VIP tables, or near the food truck areas.

Get ready for a bigger, brighter, louder, and more unforgettable Ontario Liberty Fest!
