Tansi! Hello! We would extend an invitation to everyone to come and join our tri-community for the 79th Annual Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival. We are extremely excited to be celebrating so many years of our northern culture and traditions. In February 2026 we will spend five days celebrating our Trapper traditions with exciting competitions and family friendly events. As we welcome you and showcase all that makes Trappers’ Festival amazing we must acknowledge our partners, sponsors and volunteers! It is with the support of our sponsors and partners, and the dedication of our volunteers, that we are able to bring to life our Festival.
