Each year, the Fair welcomes 45,000+ visitors of all ages and from all walks of life. It takes 35 committees with approximately 400 volunteers (many second & third generation) working throughout the year to make it happen. At the Ancaster Fair you will find agricultural demonstrations, educational displays, horse and livestock shows, field crop, fruit & vegetable competitions, homecrafts, antiques, horticulture, photography and more. There is entertainment for the whole family including music, talent shows, pie eating contests, baby show, church service and of course the demolition derby.
Although we are widely recognized for our Fair, many people do not realize that the Fairgrounds host events year round. Our facility is used by many community members, businesses, livestock organizations, festivals and commodity groups for a wide variety of events. We also offer four weeks of Ancaster Fair Summer Camp, as well as two Agricultural Education days for grade 3 & 4 students with over 700 students attending, each spring.
Our livestock, tradeshow and event facilities host over 650,000 visitors annually. are at capacity. Our newest 75,000 sqft building opened in 2022 to meet the increasing demand for such a facility in our community. Our goal is to be a premier equestrian, livestock, tradeshow and event facility. This will fuel economic growth in our community and give us the opportunity to make a long-term impact.
Our membership is committed to our community and committed to providing the best facilities to meet our community’s needs.
