Muskoka has something for everyone! Paradigm Events, a full service event production company has had the pleasure of bringing award winning events to life in Muskoka since 1997. Muskoka as a destination has a lot to offer from outdoor activities, to top culinary experiences and a culture rich in history.
Depending on how active your group wants to be or how much downtime your meetings will allow, Muskoka has many experiential and interactive on and off-site activities to offer groups.
One way to kick off an event program is to open up with a “Flavours of Muskoka” cocktail reception. Themed food stations can highlight the unique culinary artisans which are local to Muskoka such as the Milford Bay Trout Farm, Edible Fungi, Beat the Wheat Gluten Free Pasta , Sprucedale Meats, and Four Season Greens to name just a few.
Muskoka also has a lot of home grown musical talent such as Mitch Beube Band, The Swells or Classic String Quartet which can be incorporated into your events bringing live music to the group’s enjoyment Looking to create a theme party? Why not create a custom live show based on a decade or musical genre with “The Hit List” from Deerhurst Resort.
If you are looking for interactive and enjoyable ideas for group tours and spousal programs, consider designing a Muskoka Art tour and visiting some of the many local artists in Muskoka. A taste of Muskoka dining experience can give your group a sense of the unique culinary offerings Muskoka has to offer complete with a breathtaking view.
Some of our favorite off-site event ideas include a private concert or “night in the country” at the historic Kee to Bala, live cooking demo and sit down dinner featuring Muskoka’s own Jeff Suddaby from Three Guys & A Stove, Muskoka Lakes winery tour & tasting, listening to the sounds of Big Band while cruising the Muskoka lakes on one of the Muskoka Steamships, take a brewery tour at one of Muskoka’s own local breweries, offsite dinner at Hillside Farm or take a float plane in for a fish fry dinner at Henry’s Fish Restaurant!
There are also many great festivals in the Muskoka area which groups can take advantage of that highlight the region and bring in well know personalities such as Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, Huntsville’s Festival of the Arts, The Muskoka Boat & Cottage Show, What’s Cooking Bracebridge, Bala’s Cranberry Festival, Nuit Blanche North, Muskoka Beer Festival and many more.
A sports-minded and active group might enjoy a canoe regatta, guided hikes or biking through the trails, ATV tours, horseback-riding, kayak tours, learning to row or fly fishing practice.
Looking to stay on a resort or hotel property? No problem! There are many great ways to entertain a group and utilize all of the great facilities that Muskoka resorts have to offer. Why not consider coordinating yoga or fitness classes on the dock, photography workshops, campfire sing-a –longs , antique boat building or hands -on painting classes with local artists.
