Annual Events
We are always thrilled to see returning faces and excited to make new friends at The Canadian Canoe Museum’s annual events. These gatherings bring together individuals who share a common passion for paddling, history, and creativity.
We are honoured that attendees from far and wide plan their visits around these events. Celebrating with our community is the highlight of our year! Join us in creating unforgettable memories and forging lasting connections.

National Canoe Day (June 26)
Each year on June 26th, we celebrate National Canoe Day, our favourite holiday! Since this holiday was invented (by us) in 2007, Canadians have come together to share their love for canoes through various activities such as proclamations and parties.
Join us in celebrating National Canoe Day
