2026 OBF Grand Marshal

Lindsay Kiwanis Club

Celebrating a century of heart and hard work, the Lindsay Kiwanis Club marks its 100th anniversary this April!  Since 1926, this dedicated team of volunteers has been the backbone of local progress, partnering with the city to bring us the Lindsay Paw Park, the Disc Golf Course, and countless city-wide cleanups.

 

For the Kiwanis, it’s all about the kids.  Whether they are gifting free helmets and bikes at the annual Bike Safety Rodeo or honoring our students’ character through the Terrific Kid program, they are constantly investing in Lindsay's future. Their impact even follows students to graduation, with the Lindsay Kiwanis Foundation providing essential college scholarships to local seniors. 

 

You probably know them best for their legendary Orange Blossom Festival Pancake Breakfast!  Nothing says community tradition quite like watching the Festival Queen and her court catch flying pancakes at the Fire Department. From managing festival vendors to planting trees, the Lindsay Kiwanis Club does it all with one goal in mind: keeping our community awesome!
