Discover the history of the area at the Irma Museum, which includes the original home of Jean (Elford) Paré, author of the Company’s Coming cookbooks, and a small Anglican church, both filled with artifacts from days gone by. A new building, opened in 2016, showcases Irving and Doreen Bell’s collection of over 400 antique lamps along with artifacts from the 1800s and early 1900s.
Celebrate Canada Day with a splash at the Town-Wide Water Fight, then mark your calendar for Irma Days and the Irma Summerspiel in August. Be sure to catch the always-entertaining Kid’s Rodeo, featuring crowd favorites like Mutton Busting, Greased Pig Races, Goat Milking, and more family fun! Celebrate Santa Day in December with hayrides and a Christmas market, then enjoy winter fun skating at the arena or curling on the rink.
