February Family Day weekend
This family-friendly event draws in people from all over Ontario every Family Day weekend. The Dorset Snowball Winter Carnival allows guests to participate in all of the activities and wonders that are unique to the Canadian cottage experience. Guests can enjoy maple taffy and a pancake breakfast and check out some local vendors. Fascinating displays include equipment samples from the Dorset and Dwight Trapping Association and the ice statue carving competition.
The festival also entails a number of shows, such as those by the Great Canadian Lumber Jack and the Wild Life Caller. There are plenty of activities to get involved in, such as archery, snowshoe racing, hockey shoot-out, toboggan races, ice skating, and horse-drawn wagon rides. Visitors get access to all of the festivities with a purchase of a $5 snowball pin, the proceeds from which go towards supporting charitable causes in the community. The Dorset snowball festival is a great way to get involved in the lively cottage community of Dorset and enjoy all its wintery wonders.
