Rotary Dockfest Returns Canada Day Weekend!

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.
