Welcome to the 2023 FALL FAIR

– SEPTEMBER 9-10 – 

Theme: “Blue Jeans & Healthy Greens”

Saturday – Admission Gates open at 7:30am, but no admittance to the Main Hall and Annex until 11:00am. Gates close at 5:00pm.

Sunday – Admission Gates open at 7:30am. The Main Hall opens 9:00-10:30am for those with special needs and the residences of Senior Facilities, and to the general public at 10:30am. Gates close at 6:00pm.

*Schedule of Events is posted below*

Save on parking and take the shuttle bus! Find the Fall Fair buses in front of the Visitor Information Centre. The buses start at 10:00am and run until 5:00pm on Saturday and 6:00pm on Sunday, approximately every 30 minutes (depending on how long it takes to take the previous group). The bus drops guests off near the corner of Rainbow Road and Tin Can Alley, and that is where the return shuttle bus stop is too. Cost is FREE, but there is a donation box on board for those who wish to do so. See you at the Fair!
