MARATHON– Free for all ages, The Great Northern Ontario Roadshow, presented by Science North, is coming to Marathon on Friday, April 29.
Touring across 50 communities, the event attracts more than 70,000 visitors, including Francophone and Indigenous audiences.
The Roadshow showcases many attentions, such as science shows, fun games, entertaining music, a staycation expo, natural wonders, and local markets to help promote tourism around Northern Ontario.
