Christmas at Ken Reid Returns December 6 with Holiday Magic and Community Spirit

Lindsay, ON – The sights and sounds of the holiday season will come alive as Kawartha Conservation presents Christmas at Ken Reid on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Ken Reid Conservation Area. This annual celebration transforms the park into a festive wonderland filled with lights, laughter, and holiday cheer, and it’s free for everyone to enjoy.

Visitors can look forward to visits with Santa Claus, horse-drawn wagon rides, a Christmas scavenger hunt, Kids’ Craft Corner, story walks, and live music throughout the day. The event combines nature and holiday tradition, offering a welcoming space for families, friends, and neighbours to celebrate the season together.
Admission is free, and donations are appreciated to help the event continue to grow.
