Among many events held regularly in Neepawa, the Annual Lily Festival is the largest and most popular. In July of each year, the town hosts scores of people who arrive to take in the beauty of the famous Neepawa flowers. Many community groups get involved in the festival, putting on such events as pancake breakfasts, children's activities, arts and crafts displays and workshops, a classic car show, bus and walking tours, and of course, the ever popular flowers themselves. Visit the Lily Festival website for a full listing of events.

The lengthy history of the community adds more attraction to the town. The community is home to many beautiful buildings, some dating back over one hundred years. Many of these historic buildings and homes are included in self-guided tours through Neepawa's streets.

Neepawa is the proud home of the Neepawa Natives Junior A Hockey Club - a member of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. The team has a large fan base from not only the Town, but the surrounding areas.

Many parks and green spaces add to the beauty of the town. For the sports minded individual, Neepawa has many different sporting venues for both winter and summer sports. The Neepawa Golf and Country Club, with its lush grass greens, is described by many as one of the most beautiful rural courses in Manitoba.

The Beautiful Plains Museum, located in the old railway station, houses many interesting local artifacts including a Ukrainian Village, sports memorabilia and a collection of wartime pieces.

Neepawa Riverside Cemetery, home to the famous Stone Angel, has over 2500 graves covered each summer with flowers (under the perpetual care program). The cemetery is also the final resting place of author Margaret Laurence and the furthest west burial place for a victim of the sinking of the Titanic.
