Summer has finally arrived here in Kenora - the sun is shining, the boats are launching, and our town is filling up with all of our summer residents…and Kenora Harbourfest is BACK for our 30 th anniversary!

Once again, our Committee is busy planning an event packed August Long Weekend including 2 days of Family Fest with, bouncy castles, kids carnival games, educational displays, all kinds of entertainers, the market, food trucks, the Car Show and the Wooden Boat Parade. Oh, and don’t forget the fireworks!

NEW FOR THIS YEAR.

We are moving the daytime activities under the Big Tent and will be providing more entertainment. Saturday during the day we will have local artists playing the big stage as well as entertainers around the site. Sunday during the day we will have a special show with Al Simmons and special Guest Sarah Teakle Circus Show.

THE BIG CHANGE. ONE NIGHT ONLY OF EVENING ENTERTAINMENT – FOR ALL AGES!!!!!!!!! SATURDAY AUGUST 5 TH , 2023.

As always, Harbourfest is 100% NOT FOR PROFIT, and completely volunteer run. In the past we have had over 100 volunteers helping us over the weekend. Our organization and community as a whole value the contributions Harbourfest receives from companies, organizations and individuals which make our event possible each year.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

We have struggled for the past 2 years, 2019 & 2022 to find enough volunteers to run the daytime and evening events, hence the changes we have made. We have reached out for help, but only a few have shown interest. We need committee members to help in the planning process which is a year round commitment and volunteers for the weekend of. If anyone is so inclined to volunteer, please reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. let us know when you are available. We need your help if Harbourfest is to continue.

We are hoping we can count on your support for our event happening on the Kenora Harbourfront August 5th and 6th 2023.

Sincerely,
The Harbourfest Committee
