Kawartha Conservation Invites Vendors to Christmas at Ken Reid

LINDSAY, ONTARIO - Kawartha Conservation is inviting local makers, artisans and businesses to apply for the Christmas at Ken Reid Vendor’s Market on Saturday, December 5.

Christmas at Ken Reid brings families, friends and neighbours to Ken Reid Conservation Area for an outdoor day of seasonal activities, entertainment, vendors and holiday treats. Admission remains free, making the event accessible to everyone who wants to celebrate the season together.

For vendors, the market is an opportunity to meet visitors enjoying the event and introduce them to locally made goods and small businesses. For visitors, it adds a chance to browse, discover something new and support local vendors as part of their day at Ken Reid.

“The Vendor’s Market is one of the ways local businesses become part of Christmas at Ken Reid,” said Carolyn Snider, Community Engagement Technician at Kawartha Conservation. “It gives visitors a chance to meet the people behind the products they find, and it adds to the sense of community that makes the day special.”

The event welcomes people who return each December as well as families visiting for the first time. Set within the conservation area, it offers a chance to spend time outdoors while enjoying the familiar sights and activities of the holiday season.

Vendors interested in participating can complete the 2026 Christmas at Ken Reid vendor application. Event information is available on the Kawartha Conservation festivals page.
