Thunder Queens lead Elora’s Annual Concert with ADDY-TUDE 2026

In honor of a cherished memory and in support of vital childhood cancer research, Elora is gearing up for another spectacular event: the annual Concert with ADDY-TUDE. This year’s gathering promises to be more than just a night of music; it is a vibrant celebration dedicated to honoring the legacy of Addison “Addy” Hill, who bravely fought angiosarcoma and passed away at the age of 14.

The event will take place on September 19 at the beautiful outdoor MacDonald Pavilion at the Elora Centre for the Arts. It is an evening where community spirit meets incredible talent, all while raising crucial funds for SickKids, providing essential support to families battling cancer.

The lineup for the benefit promises an unforgettable soundtrack, featuring a stellar group of performers including TALK, Thunder Queens, Lee Watson, Born in the Eighties, Lennox and Hot Flashes, and Quincy and Dave. These musical acts will bring their unique energy to the stage, creating a truly memorable atmosphere for everyone present.

Beyond the music, the event is designed to be a feast for the senses. Local culinary favorites will be on offer, with vendors such as the Friendly Society, the Evelyn, Handsome Devil, and Elora Coffee Roasters joining the festivities. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy great food while contributing to a meaningful cause.

Adding gravitas to the celebration are representatives from the SickKids Foundation, alongside renowned research laboratory head Dr. David Malkin. Their presence underscores the serious importance of the work being supported and provides an inspiring context for the community gathering.

The benefit will run from 3 to 11 p.m., offering ample time for attendees to enjoy the music, the food, and the powerful sense of community. This event is a powerful testament to the strength found in remembrance and collective action.
