Pullers can register at 4 p.m. on the day of the competition or can call Rod Cochrane at 905-243-1124.

The tractor pull marks the end of the summer events season for Kawartha Downs, but plans are already in the works for this fall and winter according to said Summer Nickerson-Hagen, Kawartha Downs marketing director.

“Management is already planning for some smaller events in the fall and winter,” she said. “And of course, planning the 2024 season that we are already so excited for. Stay tuned for some big announcements this fall/winter.”

Harness racing is still scheduled for Friday and Saturday night races resume on Sept. 9 through Sept. 23.

Admission to the pulls is $20 for general admission, $10 for children (ages two-11), and a newly-added weekend pass for all ages is $35. Tickets are available online via kawarthadowns.com/events or at the gate. Guests can still expect free parking onsite, bleacher seating, beer tents, and food trucks.
