                                            "Where the Trappers Mix in 2026"

       Tansi! Hello! I want to 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.

      If you are wanting a unique, engaging, family friendly trip, visit us here in Treaty Five Territory. You undoubtedly will experience the warm embrace of our welcoming community full of fellowship, smiles, hearty hugs and maybe a jig or two with the Fur Queens while you are here. Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival is home of the World Championship Dog Races where mushers from around the world meet at our start line to race on one of the best dog race trails on the race circuit. Celebrating our Trapper ways, is our King & Queen Trapper competition, where only the toughest dare to compete. In the spirit of the trapper traditions, competitors face challenges in portage racing, pack events, trap setting, nail driving, snowshoe races, moose & goose calling and if you're a King competitor the world renowned flour packing competition, amongst so many more. You do not want to miss a minute of this tough competition.

      On behalf of Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival, I encourage you to join us "Where the Trappers Mix in 2026”!​
