Canada's Largest and Greatest History and Military Weekend Experience!

Aquino Tank Weekend is the largest and greatest historical military show in Canada. It is the Ontario Regiment RCAC Museum’s biggest annual event. There is nothing like it in the world.

Spanning over three very busy days (9,10,11 June 2023), Aquino Weekend is an event with action packed excitement for both families and history enthusiasts. 

The Museum is known world wide for its extensive collection of operational historical vehicles and they are showcased in both static and dynamic displays over the weekend. They will roll out in demonstrations, battle re-enactments, and one-on-one tank battles! The battle re-enactments are second to none. They combine an intensive experience where artillery, infantry, and vehicles encounter each other. These scenarios are narrated and supported by explosions and gunfire (with blanks)! 

However, Aquino Weekend is much more than just that. 

There will be displays from Canadian Armed Forces units, partner Museums from all over Southern Ontario, a myriad of Historical Reenactors, other supporting organizations with similar interests (From Pipe and Drums to Radio Controlled Tanks), food trucks, beer garden, and our ever-popular Kids Zone. 

We suggest that you plan this as a full weekend event because there is too much to see on just one day! 

Aquino 2022 required almost 200 volunteers from the Museum, the Royal Canadian Legion, and Cadets, over 70 reenactors, five food trucks, and almost 20 other groups. Aquino 2023 will be even bigger and better. You better get your weekend tickets early.

Here is the Aquino Schedule.  Friday is Media and VIP day with a Battle Royale ( Tank on Tank) demonstration at 2:00 PM.  Tank and Armoured Vehicle Rides all day! 

  • Tank Rides must be prepaid.
  • Limited displays on Friday.
  • Schedule subject to change.
