The Thunder Bay Community Auditorium has unveiled an updated schedule for the coming months, bringing a variety of comedy, music, and community events to the local stage through September 2026. Located at 1 Paul Shaffer Drive, the 1,500-seat venue will host a packed roster of performances, including an intimate concert by Canadian rock icon Bryan Adams and a stand-up set by comedian George Lopez.
Comedy fans can look forward to a performance by George Lopez on April 18, 2026. Later in the season, on September 3, 2026, Bryan Adams will bring his Bare Bones show to the auditorium. This performance features the singer-songwriter in an acoustic format, focusing on vocals, guitar, and piano. Additionally, country artist Tim Hicks will perform on May 24, 2026, as part of his Going Somewhere Tour, accompanied by special guests The Martin Boys.
The auditorium will also host a busy season of local dance recitals throughout May. The Ignite Dance Academy takes the stage on May 1, followed by Art In Motion on May 2 and the Spirit of Dance recital on May 3. The Fay Gleeson Dance Centre is scheduled for May 7, with Dance Dynamics rounding out the dance programming on May 13.
Beyond performances, the venue will host the Lakehead University nursing pinning ceremony on May 29. Residents should note that the auditorium’s official online events calendar no longer includes the previously listed performances for Dirty Dancing In Concert or The Comic Strippers, despite these events appearing on some other ticket platforms.
