The Kids Fishing Derby is always free of charge for all local children up to and including the age of 16 years.
Registration took place in the morning at 9:00am at the Town of Midland booth beside the Harbour Office at 165 King Street. Each angler received free bait, a hot dog, juice box, and all participants receive a prize!
For the 2025 Kids Fishing Derby, we had 11+ bikes donated by our generous sponsors. The event is for fun, catching a fish is a bonus! All local children who registered and participated were entered into the draw to win the donated bikes and a helmet. Participants must have been in attendance to win and presented their winning ticket.
While you were here, we hope you checked out the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre and SSEA for more fun!
This event is always well attended and is very much enjoyed by all local children.
Midland Fire Department
The Midland Fire Department will be in attendance with their fun loving mascot. Participants were welcome to meet some of our dedicated fire fighters and see their cool new fire truck.
Mascots
Beloved animated characters visited the Fishing Derby. The fun loving mascots, Bluey, Bingo and Stitch, were hanging out and giving high-fives and smiles. If you asked nicely, our mascots smiled for a photo with all our friends who attended!
