Ontario is one of the world’s best places to go ATVing. And every year our community of dedicated riders come together for an epic bunch of events featuring trail rides, concerts, fundraising, prizes, and more.

Here are 4 Ontario ATV events you’ve gotta put on your calendar this year. So call your friends, grab your OFATV permit, download the QuadON app, and make a plan to hit the trails!

1. Rockin' the Trails ATV Ride and Concert
Tweed, Ontario

Rockin the Trails event flyer featuring Jason McCoy and Larry Berrio.

Scheduled for June 21, 2025, in Tweed, Ontario, this must-do event combines an ATV ride during the day with a concert featuring Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer Jason McCoy and a performance by Sudbury’s own Larry Berrio at night. Camping is available onsite at the Tweed Fairgrounds or stay nearby and be part of this epic, first-time-ever-event. Funds raised support prostate cancer research and awareness through the Ride for Dad initiative.

2. Dacre Overland Rally (The Most Challenging Rally in Canada)

Scheduled for July 9 to 13, 2025, this 5-day event is open to SXS, ATV, Argo 6X6, and 8X8 vehicles. It’s definitely not for beginners—the 600 km route is more of an endurance/survival challenge, so you’ve been warned! Participants will navigate challenging terrains, testing their endurance and skills over a period of 21 hours. Sound like fun? We thought so.

3. Rock Hound Rally
Cloyne, Ontario

Scheduled from August 15 to 17, 2025, the Rock Hound Rally is one of Ontario's most renowned rides, offering trails suitable for various skill levels.

Large ADVs welcome!

Wendover, Ontario

Set for February 8, 2025, this ride-for-a-cause event starts at the Wendover Community Center in Wendover, Ontario.
