Residents of Iroquois Falls, Ont., can expect the return of the local demolition derby after the Town of Iroquois Falls posted a notice on its municipal website on Feb. 10, 2026, confirming the event will take place this year. The derby is a long-running community tradition that draws participants and spectators from across the region.
The town-confirmed notice says a specific date, venue and ticketing details have not yet been finalized. Historically, the derby has most often been held at the Calvert Snow Dump and has served as a headline event for the annual Winter Carnival, though the town has not said whether the 2026 event will be part of the winter festival or staged as a standalone summer event.
Previous reporting said the derby has previously attracted as many as 1,800 spectators. Local businesses on Main Street and Cambridge Avenue typically expect an increase in customers during the event weekend, and town officials will need to plan for the extra traffic and noise that accompanies the competition.
The Iroquois Falls Town Council and the Events Committee are expected to review final plans for the 2026 derby, including safety protocols and any necessary budget approvals. Council members will also consider impacts on nearby residents, including parking and noise management as details are finalized.
