The Highly Likely Festival of Music and Literature will be returning in 2027! And to prepare, we are streamlining 🖇️

Moving forward, Miracle Territory has retired, and all of our shows and events henceforth will be presented under the ‘Highly Likely presents …’ banner. The team and the spirit remain; we’ve evolved into one central operation! We now have a *dedicated* instagram account to chronicle all things Highly Likely!!

We also have a new lil logo designed my our dear friend Christopher Green ( ) and you should heap praise upon him in the comments.

Announcements are coming your way this summer, so keep an ear to the ground!
Love ya ✌️

The return of our free matinee for children and families on day three off Highly Likely 2026 made clear that this tradition will not be going anywhere. As you can see, parents loved it too! This year featured presentations + performances from legendary local illustrator Brooklin Stormie, and another visit to our earthly dimension from the cosmic realms of past and future by King Spatula and his Rubber Band! Thanks to these performers for travelling to PTBO from far and wide, and to our lovely audience for filling the room and greeting them with such warmth.

Night Two of Highly Likely 2026 launched our first ever all ages basement punk show and it kicked ass with performances from Saline, Backseat Dragon, and local headliners hitNrun, as well as an unforgettable reading by Niko Stratis, and our guy Purdon minting the killer vibe all night behind the decks. Not unlike the days of PRBO yore, and the first of many nights like this to come in east city.

From the team behind Highly Likely Festival of Music and Literature - THANK YOU 💚

Our second year was an overwhelming success. Thank you to all of the artists, writers, singers, musicians, and performers who contributed their phenomenal talents to this magical time. Thank you to all the members of our community who came out, supported, and affirmed this project with your love and enthusiasm. Thanks to the for their financial support.

Most importantly, thank you to our incredible team of staff and volunteers who made this weekend run as smoothly as a paragraph expertly translated from the original French. Our aim this year was to better support our performers with a more robust team and we have been amazed by the outcomes of this collective effort. To our community partners, programming committee, event volunteers, and technical, administrative, and production staff - THANK YOU. Many of those folks are pictured here, some crucial ones are not. We really, really, really like you.

We will absolutely be back next year.

ARTIST PROFILE: KAY SILVER

is an indie rock singer-songwriter based in Peterborough, Ontario, whose music defies easy categorization, weaving together decades of sound into something uniquely her own. With a voice that is both haunting and tender, Silver creates songs that feel suspended in time—dreamy, nostalgic, and uplifting.

At the heart of Kay Silver’s songwriting is a deep love of melody, shaped in part by her Celtic roots and the timeless tunes passed down through generations. The result is music that feels warm, familiar, and emotionally resonant—like a forgotten B-side rediscovered, carrying echoes of the past while firmly living in the present.

We are thrilled to bring Kay Silver back for another MT performance. She wowed last summer performing solo, and will appear this time with her full band - only their second show after their debut at

Saturday Dec 27 at tickets available at Blue Streak records
