It has evolved into a massive rural expo, where our main goal continues to be to educate people about agriculture. This is the largest event of its kind in Canada, attracting people from all over the world. Historical attendance numbers of more than 70,000 visitors and locals over the five-day event.
The 2024 IPM is happening six months from now in the Kawartha Lakes from October 1 - 5 2024. Local farmers in Kawartha Lakes are coming together to open their fields, transforming them into a large exciting rural expo which includes a huge, tented city at the LEX with virtually non-stop entertaining activities and plowing competitions! Watch plowing through history – old fashioned horse drawn plows to the latest high- tech plows, all competing for the straightest furrows. Spend a day or stay all five days in our full-service RV Park with over 600 sites. Come and experience all that is special about the IPM and the many communities in Kawartha Lakes.
