From the Up Here Festival in Sudbury to Mattawa Voyageur Days to Le Carnaval in North Bay, The Seven is a premier destination for outdoor events. Take in the Northern Lights Festival Boréal, Canada’s longest continually running outdoor music festival or camp at the River & Sky Festival for laid-back good times—with a focus on sustainability—on the Sturgeon River. Celebrate love and equality at one of the region's many pride festivals like Fierté Timmins Pride. Away from the ever-present crowds found in the south, you’ll find a wide range of accommodation and dining options to complement your festival getaway.
Pow Wows
If you’ve never been to a pow wow, now is the time to plan on attending one on your next trip to Northeastern Ontario. Traditionally a celebration to honour the ancestors, a pow wow is a great place to learn about Indigenous culture through music, song, food, dance and storytelling—and it’s also a great privilege to experience. If you have the chance to attend, don’t pass up the opportunity.
Generally held on weekends from June to late August across Northeastern Ontario, each community’s celebration is unique. Some are only a few years old, while the Wiikwemikoong Annual Cultural Festival—one of the largest, longest-running pow wows in North Eastern North America—has been held annually since 1961.
