Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa is trading in his sleigh for skis once again!

It’s hard to believe, but 2026 marks the 10th Annual Santa Claus Charity Ski Show, happening Saturday, November 7 at 1:00 PM on Main Street in Kearney.

For the past decade, this one-of-a-kind event has brought together waterskiers, local businesses, families and community supporters for an afternoon that proves a little cold water can do a whole lot of good.

And yes — it’s November. In Muskoka. They really are getting in the water!

10 Years of Skiing for a Claus

What started as a unique way to bring the community together has grown into an incredible annual tradition that has raised thousands of dollars for local families in need.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, businesses and community members, the Santa Claus Charity Ski Show has become the largest single contributor to the Burk’s Falls Food Bank.

For our milestone 10th year, we’re setting our biggest goal yet:

❤️ $35,000! ❤️

Every sponsorship and contribution helps support local families and ensures the impact of this event continues long after Santa’s skis are back in storage.

Introducing the “10 for 10” Initiative

To celebrate 10 incredible years, past sponsors are being invited to take part in the 10 for 10 Initiative by increasing their previous sponsorship by 10%.

It’s a small increase that, together, can make a BIG difference in helping us reach our $35,000 goal.

Whether you’ve supported the show from the beginning or are considering getting involved for the first time, we would love to have you be part of this milestone year.
