Canada’s largest 4-day agricultural fair will be held this September 29 through October 2. The Markham Fair takes place at the Markham Fair grounds, located on the North East corner of McCowan Road and Elgin Mills Road (10801 McCowan Road). The Markham Fair is one of Canada’s oldest country fairs. According to the fair’s website, “Since 1844 the fair has been providing the community with a showcase for talents and products in a friendly competitive spirit. With over 670 volunteers working on more than 70 committees, Markham Fair is the largest community based volunteer organization in Canada.”
There are lots of great events at the fair this year including:
• Monster trucks in the “largest outdoor monster madness show in 2011.”
• A truck and tractor pull.
• Horse shows.
• Video dance party.
• Teen talent show.
• A meet-and-greet with Dora the Explorer and Kai-lan.
• A demolition derby.
• A giant fireworks display.
In addition to the special events listed above, there is also ongoing entertainment from Silver Elvis, Madame Buskerfly, and Doug the Great. As always, there is lots of great stuff for kids, like Reptilia, face painting, elephant rides, pony rides, and the midway.
Last year 66,000 people visited the fair. It is a great time for the entire family. Great Lengths Hair Gallery will be at the fair, as we are every year, and we hope to see you there! To learn more about the fair, visit http://www.markhamfair.ca/fair.asp.
