Be Part of It!

Get Involved with City of Thunder Bay Events!

Every event we host is a celebration of who we are — a vibrant, diverse, and creative community. Whether it's music echoing across Marina Park, the smell of fresh food at a summer festival, or local artisans sharing their handmade treasures, it's people like you who bring our events to life.

These events don’t just happen — they’re made by you. We’re inviting you to be part of it.

  • Are you a local musician or performer ready to light up the stage?
  • An artist or artisan with unique, handmade goods?
  • A food vendor with delicious dishes to share?
  • A local business or vendor looking to showcase your services or products?
  • Got a cool act that doesn’t fit the usual box? We want to hear from you, too.
  • Part of a community group looking to connect with residents?

We’re calling on everyone — new entrepreneurs, seasoned performers, youth groups, cultural organizations, creative collectives, and more — to help us make our events more inclusive, exciting, and truly representative of the amazing people who call Thunder Bay home.

This is more than just a vendor booth or a stage slot. It’s a chance to:

  • Build new connections 

  • Share your story 

  • Celebrate your culture 

  • Inspire others 

  • And be part of something that brings our community together 

Interested? You’ll need to complete one of our official call-out forms to be eligible.
Check out our current opportunities below and sign up to get involved. Let’s build something amazing — together.
