DINNER THEATRE, PEI-STYLE

Stomping Tom’ Dinner Theatre 2026

“Stompin’ Tom Connors & Friends Live at the Horseshoe Tavern”

Step inside Toronto’s legendary Horseshoe Tavern for an unforgettable night celebrating Canada’s greatest musical storyteller—Stompin’ Tom Connors. Stompin’ Tom Connors & Friends Live at the Horseshoe brings Tom’s spirit, songs, and storytelling tradition back to the very stage where he made history.

This special tribute performance gathers some of Tom’s closest musical friends, longtime bandmates, and rising Canadian roots artists to honour the man who gave the country its soundtrack. From Bud the Spud to The Hockey Song, from foot-stomping classics to heartfelt ballads of the people, guests will be treated to a night of pure Canadiana performed with the energy, humour, and raw authenticity Tom was famous for.

Set in the intimate, historic atmosphere of “The ’Shoe,” the show blends live music, shared memories, vintage footage, and stories from the road—giving fans both old and new a rare chance to relive the legacy of a national icon. Expect tall tales, hard-stompin’ rhythms, and a room full of people singing along to the songs that built a country.

Whether you’ve followed Tom for fifty years or you’re discovering him for the first time, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss.
