About FILOMI Days

Port Hardy’s biggest community celebration happens every year from July 17 to 19, with most of the events happening at the Carrot Park waterfront. FILOMI Days is always celebrated on a weekend filled with music, food, park festivities, a fishing derby and so much more. The finale on Sunday is marked by a waterfront fireworks display.

The name FILOMI is the first two letters taken from three of the major resource industries with history in this town: FIshing, LOgging, MIning.
