The 2025 edition of Lakeland’ Best is heading into its last week so if you haven’t already voted for your favourites in our Food & Drink category, now is the time to do it.
Something new we added this summer is the Lakeland Life category where we invite you to vote for the Lakeland’s friendliest business.
Lakeland businesses deserve your support and appreciate getting a nod of appreciation so please get your votes in.
“The number of votes cast in this year’s contest has doubled over last year, so thanks to all our readers who have voted so far"
We are also wanting to give a nod of recognition to the Lakeland’s best campground, best golf course, best lake, best local event and best landmark. This region boasts some great summer destinations so show them some love and vote.
Our Food & Drink category is being served up again as a big part of Lakeland’s Best. Where do you always go for pizza? What’s your top choice for liquor store when picking up supplies for your summer party? Who has the best patio? Where’s the best café? Who has the best wings? You have a chance now to vote on all your favourites in the Lakeland!
Do we expect a little friendly competition between Lakeland communities? You bet we do. In fact, we encourage it. Don’t see your favourites in the listed nominees? – then please nominate them. As the saying goes, the more the merrier.
