Get Ready... It's the Return of Rotary Dockfest!

The beloved Rotary Dockfest returns to downtown Huntsville on Saturday June 29, 2024 for an unforgettable Canada Day long weekend celebration!

Bathtub Races

The festivities kick off with a lively parade down Main Street, filled with colourful bathtub floats at 10am. The highlight of the event is the hilarious Bathtub Derby, kicking off at 11am, where daring teams race around the Muskoka River in motorized bathtubs, careening around buoys in pursuit of victory. Each tub is brightly painted and sponsored by local businesses, who compete in a friendly rivalry to win bragging rights while raising funds for important community causes.

River Mill Park Celebration

The day continues with joyful revelry in River Mill Park, with the aromas of tasty food and drink filling the air courtesy of Lake of Bays Brewing Co. There will also be buskers entertaining the crowd and art activities for the kids. The celebration culminates with a free, live concert by the dynamic group Funkestra.

The return of Dockfest promises to be an incredible celebration of community. Enjoy a day of fun for all ages and a chance to come together and enjoy the start of summer in Huntsville.
