December 10, 2020

Congrats to Judith D. who is heading to Saunders Farm for some holiday family fun. Thanks to everyone who entered to win.

Tickets are still available.

Light & Sound Show (Nightly Drive Thru)

With more than 30 years designing some of Ottawa’s most amazing experiences, the Saunders Farm team spent this past summer producing a brand new attraction, the Holiday Light & Sound Drive-Through Show! 

Load up your family and take a whimsical 2km drive through the beautiful, 180-year-old family Farm and magical forest. Join Mazey, the young sapling host as she explores the Farm in search of her own Christmas star.

After the Light & Sound Drive-Through Show drive through, you're invited you to visit the Night patio and Farm Shop where you can enjoy mulled wine, Craft beers, hot drinks, seasonal treats and Beavertails for purchase by a bonfire. They also have Christmas trees and wreaths and unique gifts in the Saunders Farm Shop.
