Located on the northeast shore of St. Joseph Island in the heart of the Great Lakes in northern Ontario, the Village of Hilton Beach has been an important port of call and a popular tourist destination for over a century.

2023 Hilton Beach summer events include:

The Hilton Beach Farmers’ Market takes place every Saturday through to Sept. 2 from 10 a.m. to noon in front of the Hilton Beach Municipal Office, 3100 Bowker St.

On Sunday, July 16 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., over 30 artists will display and sell their work at the 37th annual Hilton Beach Arts at the Dock event, taking place indoors at the Community Hall (3050 Hilton Rd.), and outdoors at the Hilton Beach Marina.

On Saturday, July 22 from noon until 4 p.m., the Classic Car Show takes to the streets of Hilton Beach highlighted by a shine and show, vendors, and live music featuring Flathead Ford.

Hilton Beach Community Night is Saturday, Aug. 5 from 5 p.m. onward, with the parade starting at 7 p.m. This year, fireworks will be part of the fun! The Centennial parade theme is ‘Through the Decades’ (1923-2023). As a project of Central Algoma Secondary School’s Technological Education (CASS Tech) class led by Tracy Stevens Tait, students built a 1940s replica Marks Street bowling game that will be one of many game booths at Community Night.
