View from Scotch Block (the highest point on the island)
July 30th and 31st, 2022
Heritage weekend is a time when all Cockburn Islanders come together; young and old, near and far — the weekend draws all our Islanders home. Whether it’s meeting new friends, catching up with old ones, enjoying the events, or reconnecting with the Island, we’ll be happy to see you.
Pay to enter and get your map. Tour the island sites all day Saturday collecting poker chips to trade in for cards at the Fish Fry. Best hand wins the pot.
Those that are unable to gather chips are more than welcome to buy their poker hand directly.
Buy your tickets for the 50/50 Draw at the Fish Fry. Winner will be drawn at random after the dinner.
The whole town is having a yard sale! Looking to sell or give away some things you have around the camp, place those treasures at the end of your driveway.
Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting of the Town Council.
Get the family together for the 2nd Annual Children's Treasure Hunt (and the first for adults too). Clues will be given out at the phone booth.
The famous Cockburn Island ATV Games will be happening again this year. Bring your ATVs and compete against the best the island has to offer — or just have fun.

Be sure to enter the Poker Run as well by purchasing your map during this event!
