Event Details

THE music event in November is when the George Lake BIG Band and Little Peter and the Elegants combine to give you wonderful music from many decades. We have set the date this year as Saturday, November 7, 2026. We’ve taken your comments and suggestions from the past events and we’re pleased to announce that this year we will have three buffet stations to speed up the food service.

Doors will open at 5:00pm, the buffet will start at 5:30pm and the live music begins at 7:00pm. The George Lake BIG Band and Little Peter and the Elegants will alternate sets for your dancing and listening pleasure! Let’s look at the improvements for this year!

The Trillium Ballroom features:

11,500 square feet of space, compared to 4,600 square feet at our 2024 event
Comfortably accommodates up to 650 people – we will restrict ticket sales to 360
Has a significantly bigger dance floor measuring 2,400 square feet, compared to 900 square feet at the 2024 event

You can view photos of our upgraded venue at this webpage: https://www.littlepeterandtheelegants.com/le-treport-2025

Only 360 tickets will be sold to ensure ample dancing space and comfortable seating for everyone. Two bars will be set up and more employees will be working the room.

Tickets are $70 per person and we are offering a discounted price of $65 for groups of 10 or more.

Early Bird Special

Until February 28, 2026 we are offering an early bird special of $65 for all tickets purchased by that date

When reserving a full table, you can now choose between a table of 10 or a table of 8 and we will be asking for a larger table size for these groups. Feel free to e-transfer $65 for your early bird tickets x the number of tickets to steve.pettafor@gmail.com or mail a cheque payable to “Peter Toller” to Peter Toller, 92 Lakeshore Rd. E. Mississauga, ON L5G 4S2. We will then get the tickets out to you.

Please tell your friends about this exciting event! Contact us anytime. Music to Remember on Saturday November 7 will be a highlight of 2026!
