The 2026 Spirit of Thunder Bay at the Superior Inn promises to be an engaging and elegant evening that brings people together in the spirit of community, learning, and generosity.

Guests will enjoy a guided Scotch whisky tasting experience, featuring five distinct Scotch selections, each thoughtfully introduced by knowledgeable educators who will share the history, craftsmanship, and unique tasting notes behind every pour. Whether a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the art of Scotch whisky.

Each tasting will be complemented by carefully curated appetizer pairings, designed to enhance the flavour profiles of the whiskies and elevate the overall experience. The culinary elements add warmth and richness to the evening, encouraging conversation and connection.

The event also offers meaningful networking opportunities, creating space for guests to connect with fellow community leaders, supporters, and friends in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Throughout the evening, guests can participate in a silent auction featuring an appealing selection of items and experiences. Proceeds from the auction will support vital community-focused initiatives, extending the impact of the evening well beyond the event itself.

Together, the 2026 Spirit of Thunder Bay celebrates community, education, and philanthropy—an evening of shared enjoyment that reflects the generosity and compassion at the heart of Thunder Bay.
