We’re thrilled to announce that the 2027 LDB Ice Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2027!

To date, we’ve supported over 100 community projects and reinvested $294,065 into Lac du Bonnet and surrounding areas through donations to non-profit organizations. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, in 2026 alone, more than $28,000 was returned the community through grants, bursaries, and volunteer hours. On February 22, 2025, we had 1,394 anglers competing for over $70,000 in cash and prizes, and your sponsorship will help us amplify our impact even further in 2026.
Your contributions—whether cash, merchandise, or in-kind donations—help cover event operating costs and enable us to continue giving back to the community. We offer flexible Sponsorship Packages designed to showcase your business to over 1,200 attendees on Derby Day and thousands more through our marketing efforts.
