Join Grand Experiences at CanCast 2026
Join Grand Experiences at CanCast 2026: Your Gateway to the Grand River
The countdown is on! This Sunday, March 29th, the biggest weekend in Canadian fishing arrives in Peterborough, and Grand Experiences will be right in the thick of it.
We’re heading to the Peterborough Memorial Centre for CanCast 2026 (now combined with the Muskie Odyssey), and we want to see you there. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or someone looking to plan their first family paddling adventure, our booth is your one-stop shop for everything happening on the Grand River this season.
Why Visit the Grand Experiences Booth?
We’re bringing more than just brochures to Peterborough. We’re bringing the spirit of the river and a few exclusive opportunities you won’t find anywhere else:
- Win a Guided Fishing Trip for Two: We’re giving away a fully guided fishing experience on the Grand River. Enter at our booth for your chance to tackle the legendary Smallmouth Bass or Brown Trout that make our waters world-famous.
- Book Early, Paddle Happy: Summer dates fill up fast (especially our Nith Whitewater and Learning to Paddle sessions). Come chat with our guides and lock in your preferred dates before they’re gone.
- The Gift of Adventure: We’ll have gift cards available for purchase. They make the perfect “early” birthday or Father’s Day gift for the outdoor lover in your life.
Show Details: Where & When
This year’s show is massive, spanning two venues with a free shuttle running between them. You can find us at the main hub:
- Location: Peterborough Memorial Centre (151 Lansdowne St. West)
- Date: Sunday, March 29, 2026
- Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
CanCast is 100% fishing—no fillers—and with the addition of the Muskie Odyssey, it’s going to be the most high-energy show of the year.
Let’s Talk River Strategy
Stop by to talk shop with us. Want to know what the “Slow Soak” from this winter means for the July Smallmouth bite? Or which stretch of the Grand is best for a quiet solo kayak trip? We’re there to answer your questions and help you plan your best summer yet.
See you in Peterborough!
