Dunvegan's War of 1812 Weekend

Dunvegan's War of 1812 Weekend 17 YEARS of Recreating every day life in 1812-1814! September 26-27, 2026

Held Annually on the grounds of The Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan, Ontario; Living History Re-enactors from across Ontario, Quebec and the United States invade with their muskets, cannons and camp fires to recreate the 1812-1814 conflict. It is a multi-sensory delight for the spectator, where virtual aspects of military and civilian life are portrayed throughout the encampments and battlefi

eld. The highlight is a full fledged battle with the firing of cannon and musketry among the invading American militia and the scarlet clad ranks of the British defenders.
