DOWNTOWN MIDLAND

The ‘battle’ is on! Hundreds of costumed re-enactors, majestic tall ships, battle-trained horses and the excitement that can only be found at Georgian Bay’s # 1 Destination spot for travellers from around the globe – the communities of Midland and Penetanguishene.

Downtown Midland is proud to be a sponsor of this spectacular event that brings history to life. The proud history and tradition of the Georgian Bay settlers, explorers and our pioneers of industry and business lives on in Downtown Midland through the creation of more than 30 historic, outdoor murals – including the largest mural in North America.

One of the most vibrant and unique downtown communities in Ontario, Midland is home to a diverse selection of businesses and services, located adjacent to Midland’s recently revitalized waterfront park, harbour and walking trails.
