Events

The first weekend in May, at the Longwoods Road Conservation Area, you can experience history being brought to life. Every year, the Upper Thames Military Re-enactment Society presents the Battle of Longwoods.

Lotan Cemetery (Ekfrid Township Cemetery E1 – LOTAN)
5472 Century Drive, Appin ON • Concession 4, Lot 10. The Glencoe & District Historical Society invites neighbours, descendants, and friends to gather with us for a Community Memorial to honour the people who shaped this corner of Ekfrid Township.

Local historian Harold Carruthers will share the history of the cemetery and the early families who settled nearby. Afterward, we will take time in community to speak names, share memories, and acknowledge the ancestors whose lives left a mark on this land.

Have you ever been to a powwow? A Powwow is a living celebration of Indigenous culture — a gathering of song, dance, community, tradition, and connection that welcomes people of all backgrounds. Expect spirited drumming, colourful regalia, dancing competitions, and vendors showcasing traditional crafts and foods.
