Canada Day Festival at Dyment Recreation Hall Features Silent Auction, Live Music and Family Fun
Canada Day in Melgund Township wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the annual Canada Day Festival Silent Auction at the Dyment Recreation Hall and Park. Running from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the auction has become one of the largest community silent auctions in Northwestern Ontario, drawing visitors from across the region to browse, bid, and support a local tradition.
Make a day of it by enjoying live performances from Gerry and Tanya McArthur and Walter and Friends while sharing a meal with family and friends. The Cookshack will be serving festival favourites including burgers, hot dogs, smokies, and refreshments, while the kids’ lemonade stand offers another reason to stop by. Door prizes and a welcoming community atmosphere make the afternoon enjoyable for all ages.
Whether you’re searching for a unique auction find, listening to live music, or simply looking for a great way to celebrate Canada Day in Northwestern Ontario, you’ll find it in Dyment. Every visit helps support this volunteer-driven community event and keeps one of Melgund Township’s favourite annual traditions thriving for another year.
