About Kawartha Downs

Welcome to Kawartha Downs, a premier venue in Fraserville, Ontario that blends harness racing, speedway action, and flexible event spaces. With a grandstand capacity of approximately 2,500 spectators and a clubhouse seating around 2,000, Kawartha Downs is a versatile destination for live entertainment, racing fans, and special events. The site also features an on-site casino (Shorelines Slots) and plans for future expansion to include larger concert and indoor venue spaces, making it a hub for both sports and live performances in the Kawartha region.

Whether you’re attending a Saturday race, an outdoor concert, or a private event, we’ve got you covered with easy, no-fuss ticket access and up-to-date details on seating, parking, and nearby accommodations. Secure your seats and plan your visit with confidence—Kawartha Downs is your trusted connection to great live experiences in Central Ontario.

Seating at Kawartha Downs centers on the on-site grandstands and the clubhouse, with temporary grandstands used for speedway events. Because a formal public seating chart isn’t published, ticket buyers should expect general admission style viewing in the grandstands and clubhouse areas. Parking is plentiful, with on-site lots and an overflow area added in recent years to accommodate up to 4,000+ vehicles. Transit options are limited directly to Kawartha Downs, so most guests arrive by car or rideshare, with the closest city transit serving Peterborough and Lindsay providing access to nearby tourist hubs. A variety of hotels and dining options are available within a 10–20 mile radius, including well-regarded Peterborough properties. As the master plan progresses, Kawartha Downs aims to host large outdoor concerts for up to ~15,000 attendees and indoor venues that hold 3,000–4,000 for future events. When you’re planning a visit, check event dates and seating availability and consider nearby partner hotels for a seamless experience.
