Culture
Historically speaking, Cochrane is a tri-cultural town. Aboriginal, English, and French inhabitants shaped a community that celebrates its rich history through many festivals such as the Cochrane Winter Carnival, the Torch Light Parade, the Cochrane Summerfest, Heritage Days, and the Cochrane Annual Fall Fair. Whether you enjoy ice-fishing derbies, pond hockey tournaments, monster ATV races through the mud bogs, fireworks, quilting and photography competitions, or corn roasts, you’ll be sharing in the northern experience. Our small town spirit will not only encourage you to become interested in the history of Cochrane, but it will inspire you to invest in creating your own unforgettable memories here.
