FULL EVENT DETAILS HERE

Thamesford truly comes alive during Calithumpian Weekend, a tradition rooted in over a century of community celebration. Originally held on the August Civic Holiday to attract visitors, the event evolved over the decades, moving to the May 24 weekend and growing through the efforts of dedicated local clubs and volunteers.

From early parades, baby shows, bicycle races, ball games, and carnival rides to fireworks, dances, tug-of-war competitions, craft displays, and canoe races, Calithumpian Weekend has always reflected the spirit of the town. Memorable highlights include Centennial-year beard contests, circus performances, street dances, brunches, and packed parades featuring local businesses and organizations.

Thanks to the generosity of volunteers, businesses, and community groups, Calithumpian Weekend continues to bring together people of all ages, celebrating Thamesford’s history, creativity, and strong sense of togetherness.
