A 22K Magic tribute to Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars, a Tragically Hip tribute band, a Saturday-night demolition derby, and the Ultimutts Hollywoof Stars animal stunt show โ the Georgetown Fall Fair is one of the last GTA-area fairs still running a full traditional midway.

๐ก Ride-all-day midway passes sell out fast in advance at Squirt’s Toys downtown โ worth grabbing early if you want the midway without paying per ride.
โจ Why This Fair Is Worth the Drive
The Georgetown Agricultural Society has been putting this fair on for 179 years, and it still runs one of the more complete traditional fairgrounds left in the GTA โ a genuine Magical Midways carnival, a full Homecraft building with over 200 competition classes, and an Agricultural Education Tent with real farm animals, all on the same grounds. Visitor reviews consistently point out that Georgetown is “one of the lucky ones still operating a real fair” at a time when a lot of nearby fairs have scaled back their midways.
The entertainment lineup for 2026 leans hard into tribute acts and crowd-pleasers: 22K Magic covers both Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars on Friday night, Practically Hip (billed as Canada’s number one Tragically Hip tribute) headlines Saturday night, and Sunday closes with CCW Live Pro Wrestling and the Tone Dogs. Layered on top of that is the Ultimutts Hollywoof Stars Show โ trained cat and dog performers who’ve appeared in Hollywood films and Netflix productions doing stunts, skateboard tricks, and tightrope walking, with a meet-and-greet after every show.
The motorsports side is just as packed: a Saturday-night Destruction Demolition Derby with a first-ever Kids Power Wheels division, and a 4th Annual Car and Truck Show on Sunday with a $1,000 cash Best of Show prize, where 100% of the registration fee goes directly to the Georgetown Hospital Foundation. Add JoJo the Balloon Clown wandering the grounds, live blacksmithing demonstrations, and a brand-new Foam Party for kids, and it’s genuinely a fair built for a full weekend visit rather than a quick afternoon stop.

๐ก A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Go
๐ก Buy midway passes at Squirt’s Toys before the weekend. They’re cash-only and frequently sell out ahead of the fair.
๐ฅ Arrive early Saturday for the derby. The Demolition Derby starts at 6:00 PM, but seats fill up well before showtime.
๐ Show up Sunday morning for the car show. Registration runs 8:30โ11:00 AM at the Parkview Entrance, no pre-registration needed โ just drive in.
๐ Time your visit around the Ultimutts show. It runs three times a day both Saturday and Sunday, with a meet-and-greet after every performance.
๐บ The beer tent has an open-grounds permit this year. You can buy a drink at the tent and carry it out onto the fairgrounds โ just not into the Homecrafts Building.
๐งต Set aside time for the Homecraft building. With over 200 competition classes and a silent auction of handcrafted items, it’s easy to spend far longer there than expected.
