About Lennox Agricultural Memorial Community Centre

The Lennox Agricultural Memorial Community Centre, located at 170 York Street in Napanee, Ontario, is a storied landmark in the Napanee & District region. Historically a central gathering place as Napanee & District Community Arena, the building was destroyed by fire on October 23, 2023. The site has since been repurposed for parking with plans for future use by the Lennox Agricultural Society, while the Napanee Fairgrounds continue to host the annual Napanee Fair and other community events. For major events today, the town relies on the Strathcona Paper Centre (also known as Best & Bash Arena) at 16 McPherson Drive, Napanee, which serves as the area’s primary multi-use arena with fixed seating for about 1,000 in the Goodyear Rink. This page provides a comprehensive overview of the Lennox Agricultural Memorial Community Centre, its history, how to attend events in Napanee, and nearby accommodations and dining options. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and convenient hotel and restaurant picks.

Whether you’re planning to attend events at the Napanee Fairgrounds or explore what Napanee has to offer around the Lennox Agricultural Society, we’re here to help you secure your seats and plan your visit. Since the old arena burned, local venues and transportation options have adapted to keep the community connected and events moving forward.
