The Lindsay Agriculture Society Presents the Merry and Bright Festival

December 14, 2022/ Felicia Massey

The Merry & Bright Festival held at the Lindsay Fairgrounds features almost one kilometre of light displays created by local individuals, businesses and organizations to raise donations and support the community from Thursday to Dec. 23.

The drive-through festival of lights is a joint fundraiser for the Lindsay Agricultural Society, United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes, BGC Kawarthas, Kawartha Food Source, Lindsay Lions Club and Heritage Christian School.

Attendees can enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride — for Saturday only — and visit Santa at his portable workshop.

In 2020, the Lindsay Agricultural Society hosted the Merry & Bright Festival for the first time as a way to raise money for their partner organizations which missed the opportunity to fundraise at the year’s Lindsay Exhibition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They say the event was very successful in its first year, providing each partner organization with over $5,000 in donations.

The display is at the Lindsay Fairgrounds located at 354 Angeline St. S. in Lindsay. Tickets can be purchased online or by paying cash at the gate.

Here's Our Suggested Christmas Lights Route In Peterborough

December 23, 2011/ PTBOCANADA

Take a slow evening drive (or walk) to unwind from the Christmas stress this holiday. Try the short jaunt off Sherbrooke on Woodglade Blvd, across Kawartha Heights Blvd to Wintergreen Trail. Then travel along Springwood Road and turn on Woodgrove Crescent. Some of Peterborough's most festive houses are along this route.
