Worth the Visit!

The community of Lumsden is nestled in the Qu'Appelle Valley just 15 minutes north of Regina on Hwy. 11. Whether you are a day tripper or a vacationer looking to experience the bounty of the prairies we are the perfect destination! There is so much to see and do . . . visit one of the several market gardens on Hwy. 20 between Lumsden and Craven, or spend a day at the beach on Long Lake or walk/bike the TransCanada or Sawhet trails. Maybe you want to play a round of golf or ride horses through the hills or canoe the Qu'Appelle River. The possibilities are endless! With unique shops, art galleries, restaurants, parks, historic churches and sites, a museum, a petting zoo, festivals and valley views at every turn you won't be disappointed.

Great Pumpkin & Scarecrow Festival

2009 Cameron's Pharmacy Scarecrow Entry
Each year on the weekend before Thanksgiving the community of Lumsden comes alive with scarecrows.  Individuals and businesses decorate their yards with displays for the annual festival.  Festival day events include the ever popular People Movers, which tour the nearly 100 community scarecrow displays; a Country Fair featuring musical entertainment, food vendors, crafters and other goods for sale; lots of activities for children; and the pumpkin catapult competition in which small pumpkins are "chucked" the length of a football field with home built catapults (that cannot contain any mechanical parts).
