KAWARTHA LAKES-The International Plowing Match (IPM) is coming to Kawartha Lakes’ Lindsay Exhibition this year, October 1 to 5.
“IPM is a great celebration of agriculture and rural living, which are very important parts of our community. We are hard at work planning this important event that will make a real impact on our economy and local pride,” said Deputy Mayor Charlie McDonald. The Deputy Mayor is the Chair of Visitor Experience for the event.
IPM 2024 will have a wide variety of activities, including plowing competitions, live entertainment, hundreds of vendors and exhibitors, lots of food and an RV Park.

Councillor Ron Ashmore also attended the New York State Farm Show in Syracuse to let our southern neighbours know about the upcoming event
The five-day event is expected to attract over 70,000 people to Kawartha Lakes. An event of this size is impossible without volunteers and business partners. There are volunteer opportunities in horse & tractor plowing, entertainment, marketing, souvenirs, education, RV Park, wagon tours, landscaping, beautification, parking & traffic, gates, health & safety, parade, information booths, and more. Whether you have lots or little time to spare, the team can find something for you to help with on October 1 to 5.
