Welcome Home to Buxton! Since 1924, Homecoming has grown from a one-day reunion to a full four-day celebration. This year, our 102nd Homecoming theme is "Celebrating Buxton's Agriculture" and it promises to inspire special memories. The variety of events over Labour Day weekend all have a historical flavour as befits one of Ontario's largest National Historic Sites that is dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of slavery, the Underground Railroad, and a new world of possibilities. All of this will take place on the grounds of the Buxton National Historic Site, Canada's largest and most successful planned settlement as a haven for freedom seekers.
Aurora's Reef wil be performing on:
Saturday, August 30th from 2:30-4:00 in the Refreshment tent at North Buxton Community Park
Monday, September 1st in the Buxton Homecoming Parade at 12:30 and until 3:00 pm in the Refreshment tent at North Buxton Community Park
Aurora's Reef - "Canada's Capital Reggae Band."
Aurora’s Reef is a six-piece reggae collective straight from the soul of Canada’s Capital. Their fresh fusion of roots reggae, ska, and swing are signature to their performances.
They've been featured at Ottawa's iconic venues such as The Rainbow Bistro, Irene's, and Live on Elgin, and performed at Ottawa Ribfest and Kinaxis InConcert. They were also keynote performers at the Ontario Moonshine Festival, North Buxton Homecoming Celebration, and the IndieCity Patio Live Summer Music Series.
Summer 2024 saw them trekking across Ontario and Quebec on their inaugural Reefer Tour '24 from Montreal to Windsor, where listeners connected to their soon-to-be classic originals like Sarsaparilla, Road Burn, and Event Horizon.
Now, they are crafting their self-titled album Aurora’s Reef.
Mission statement
“Aurora's Reef strives to create a welcoming community through the unifying power of reggae music. Hailing from North Buxton, frontman Duncan Travis honours his heritage as a descendant of the Underground Railroad through his original music."
