Calling on Our Community: Help Us Tell the Mudcat Story

As we prepare to celebrate 50 years of successful Dunnville Mudcat Festivals, we’re looking back — and we’d love your help.

Do you have photos, memories, or stories from past Mudcat Festivals?
Parades, street dances, fishing derbies, family moments, volunteer days, bands, rides, or quiet behind-the-scenes memories — all of it matters.

This festival has been built by the community since 1974, and we want to honour that history by sharing the moments that made it special across generations.

If you’d like to contribute:

Share photos from any year
Share a short story or memory
Tell us what the Mudcat Festival has meant to you or your family

Please send submissions to info@dunnvillechamberofcommerce.com

(Include names, approximate year, and permission to share)

Thank you for helping us preserve and celebrate the memories that make Dunnville’s Mudcat Festival more than an event — it’s a tradition.
