Celebrate Canada’s birthday the old-fashioned way! Throughout the afternoon enjoy games for the whole family including sack races, three-legged races, water balloon tosses and a tug of war. If you need to brush up on your history then sit in on a lesson about flags in our old-fashioned Schoolhouse and make your own Union Jack.

Take part in many pioneer demonstrations including quilting, spinning and making fleece mice from carded wool and listen to music by the Old Time Fiddlers & Dancers. Lang's own Sawyer-Massey steam engine will be running and the blacksmith and carpenter shops will also be in full operation. As well, all visitors will be treated to a slice of Birthday cake in honour of our nation!

The village transforms itself into a haunted haven for ghosts and ghouls! Witches and vampires, bats and spiders, they're all coming out to give you a frightfully good time! Dress in costume if you like and be prepared to enjoy ghastly treats, Halloween games and contests, crafts, wagon rides, a magic show, face painting and palm reading. This has become one of the most popular Halloween events in the region for families with young children. Lots of fun for monsters of all ages!
