All Tickets $20  (Except $5 for children at Fred Penner's family show only.)

Tickets are available for purchase online through our website and at the venue (subject to availability). We recommend purchasing tickets in advance to secure your spot, especially for smaller venues.

 

We use Zeffy as our ticket platform. Zeffy is a 100% free Canadian fundraising platform built specifically for nonprofits. It offers a complete solution for online donations, event ticketing, and more — without taking any fees from the funds raised. That means 100% of your ticket purchase goes directly to supporting our work at the Lighthouse Community Centre Society.

​

At checkout, you’ll see two optional donation suggestions:

• A donation to the Lighthouse Community Centre Society – This is an optional contribution that directly supports our ongoing programming and community initiatives.

• A donation to support Zeffy – Zeffy remains free by asking for voluntary contributions from supporters like you. You can choose an amount from the dropdown menu, or select "Other" and leave it blank if you prefer not to contribute.

Thank you for your support!
