There’s a vibe in UpTown Waterloo that offers both a dynamic lifestyle for those who live in the core, and an urban, exciting experience for those who are new or visiting the area.
Waterloo Public Square is not only a place to gather in the heart of the city, it’s where you’ll find fantastic festivals and events happening year round. Take in the sounds of the annual Sun Life Financial Jazz Festival, laugh and be amazed by the world-class performers at the Waterloo Buskers Carnival, and join in the celebration of winter known as Winterloo. Surrounding the Square you’ll discover unique shops, award winning architecture, live music venues, and a vibrant night life. There’s also a diverse food scene with everything from cafés and bakeries to casual and critically acclaimed fine dining, with summer patios to enjoy a view of everything Uptown has to offer.
The streetscape in Uptown Waterloo invites you to explore on two feet or two wheels, and features segregated bike lanes, wide sidewalks, benches where you can enjoy the view, and thematic LED lighting that lights up the night.
Come on Up and enjoy the heart of Uptown Waterloo!
