The Township of Tiny’s first-ever drone light show, is the signature feature of this event that will include imagery that celebrates Canada’s heritage, Tiny’s history, and what makes the community of Tiny unique. The show will conclude the evening’s festivities after dusk. The drone show will also be the first in North Simcoe, emphasizing the excitement for this show at our brand-new event.

There are a variety of family-friendly activities available throughout the day such as bouncy castles, midway games, and an obstacle course. The location also provides attendees the opportunity to cool down in the water and visit local businesses.
