The Great Rendezvous Historical Re-enactment
Fort William Historical Park 1350 King Rd., Thunder Bay, Ontario P7K 1L7, Canada
From 1803-1821, Fort William was the inland headquarters of the North West Company, the world’s largest fur trading enterprise with posts reaching across North America. Fort William served as the transhipment point for goods and supplies coming from Montreal and furs coming from the western trading posts. Each summer, French and Métis voyageurs, Scottish businessmen, Indigenous Peoples, and others from places around the world gathered at Fort William for the Great Rendezvous to conduct business, share news and renew friendships.
Fort William Historical Park (FWHP) invites re-enactors to participate in the Park’s annual Great Rendezvous Historical Re-enactment.
