May long weekend 2010 Fireworks!! Port McNichol & Town of Blue Mountains ...tonite!!

For those who've made tracks up to the cottage or you live in cottage country all year long the Victoria Day May 24 weekend is always charged with excitement. I was hoping to find quite a few fireworks venues for you to consider but have only managed to turn up a couple of ideas.

With both weather and budget being a factor to having a successful event perhaps not many wish to take on the task. So, you could attend one of the following events or buy your own fireworks and have a display of your own!

Fireworks

The Village at Blue Mountain
There are activities planned all May long weekend up at Blue Mountain with music, hiking, scavenger hunts, face painting, Rusty’s Rib Eating contest and yes, there will be fireworks...tonite at 9:30ish!!

Port McNichol
Portorama is a weekend long festival on the waters of Georgian Bay. Boats will be launching for the first time in 2010 and fireworks finale on Saturday, May 22!! ...tonite too!!

Winter Carnival 2010! Orillia, Ontario

Celebrate the Chill of February by joining the community of Orillia at Couchiching Park

 for the annual Winter Carnival Feb 12 - 14, 2010!

This is a family oriented, super fun event that takes place over a whole weekend in February. So just when you thought hibernation could set in, jolt yourself awake by exploring the frozen shores of Lake Couchiching! Enjoy a stroll around the carnival, visit the Petting Zoo, join in the Winter Olympics or sample a taste from the Chili Cook Off. May I also suggest you partake in the always frigid, eye opening Polar Bear Dip which raises funds for local, charitable causes.
