The Horse drawn Sleighrides at the Ennismore Community Centre, offered for the first time in 2020, will make its return this year. This PolarFest experience invites families to enjoy a winter ride on Jan. 31 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

On Saturday, visitors can also explore ice carvings in Lakefield’s Cenotaph Park and Bridgenorth’s Heritage Park. To help residents move easily between experiences, a free PolarFest shuttle bus will operate throughout the day on Jan. 31.

The weekend will wrap up on Feb. 1 with the Frosty 5K Run and the BEL Rotary Polar Plunge, featuring this year’s retro TV-themed costumes.
