Discover Our Communities

While many people visit Sunset Country for its great fishing and outdoor experiences, it's well worth the time to discover what our communities have to offer. Summer time is celebration time in Sunset Country. Just about every community has one or more special events or festivals for you to enjoy. Canada Day celebrations are celebrated July 1st. Other major festivals you can attend include the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls, the Norseman Festival in Red Lake, Harbourfest in Kenora, the Blueberry Festival in Sioux Lookout, White Otter Days in Ignace, Moosefest in Dryden, Christmas in July in Sioux Narrows, Railroad Daze in Rainy River or the Vintage Car Show in Atikokan - just a few examples of special events that are happening.

See our Special Events Page for more listings.

As you travel through our communities you won't want to miss the many interesting landmarks and attractions. There's Husky the Muskie in Kenora, Max the Moose in Dryden, the White Otter Castle south of Ignace, the lighthouse in Morson or Kenora's Heritage Townscape Murals. Several communities have local museums with artifacts and displays celebrating our interesting history. Egli's Sheep Farm, located near the small community of Minnitaki is a must see! If you're interested in history, then you can't miss going to the Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Historical Centre near Stratton - an interpretive tour there will take you back thousands of years in time to experience the lifestyle and culture of this region's aboriginal people. There are plenty of attractions to see throughout Sunset Country so make sure you bring your camera.
