The focus of this annual event is on the residents and relatives of Manitoulin Island, with an opportunity to meet people who live elsewhere, but who vacation here and even call Manitoulin their home away from home.

It’s the perfect time to enjoy the wind-up of the summer holiday: one last good time before school and work commence.

By enjoying this event in a setting of paradise– the gentle presence of forest wildlife, brilliant sunshine, thickets of cedar, water so clear and blue, invigorating fresh air– audiences will wonder if they haven’t been changed by it all.
