Upcoming Special Events

New Wasaga Beach Heritage Walking Tour

You may have notice historical interpretive plaques around the town area by Beach Area 1 and near the municipal offices.  These plaques, together, form a new walking tour in town!  This short one-kilometre heritage walking tour will take you back in time to learn about the people that shaped this town – Indigenous People, soldiers, loggers, fisherman, business people and tourists of every type.  You will meet interesting characters and learn about events that placed Wasaga Beach on the pages of international history.  The story of Wasaga Beach is one of a special landscape and how people interacted with the landscape over the past two centuries.

Brochures that accompany and link the tour’s signs are available in town, including the Welcome Centre and Wasaga Beach Information Centre, the municipal offices, the library, Wasaga Beach Provincial Park office and other locations.

Enhance your heritage tour by joining park staff on a guided Heritage Walking Tour!
