As September turns to October, Thunder Bay is buzzing with laughter, music, remembrance, and community spirit. Whether you’re stepping into the unknown with Bigfoot, reliving the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll, running for reconciliation, or rallying for tennis, this week offers something for everyone. Here’s what’s happening September 25–October 1.
Bigfoot – A New Canadian Comedy
Location: Magnus Theatre
Dates: September 25 – October 11
Step into the unknown with Bigfoot, a quirky and heartfelt Canadian comedy directed by Thom Currie.

This laugh-out-loud production explores themes of acceptance, fame, adventure, and love.
