Many tourists and boaters are attracted to the city each year because of its waterfront park[citation needed] and its position as a gateway to Lake Country, cottage country in Muskoka, Algonquin Provincial Park, and other natural attractions. The city's waterfront has an extensive lakeshore boardwalk, a large park with two beaches, several playgrounds, an outdoor theatre, a touring ferry, and a children's' train.

This event also includes a large social gathering consisting of a "perch fry".
