Northwest Ontario prides itself on its highly tourist-friendly communities. Towns like Kenora and Red Lake have been popular vacation destinations for many years and the region’s many small towns linked together by scenic highway routes are ideal locations for travelers and families to visit while driving through the region. Festivals and events occur throughout the year but summer time is by far the best time of year to enjoy these activities. Have a great time at the Blueberry Festival in Sioux Lookout, Moosefest in Dryden or the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls. Celebrate our region’s aviation heritage at the Norseman Festival in Red Lake or party it up on the shores of Lake of the Woods at Harbourfest in Kenora.
Whatever brings you to our region, you’ll find the resources and opportunities in Northwest Ontario’s broad collection of cities and townships to make sure your visit is a memorable one!
