✨ Why This Fair Is Worth the Trip

The Wainfleet Fall Fair traces back to 1969, when Mr. Lloyd Emerson Jr. organized its first showing – more than 55 years of continuous celebration of the area’s agricultural heritage. What’s notable is how the fair has grown well beyond its own township: exhibit entries are explicitly open to anyone in the Niagara Region and the neighbouring community of Dunnville, and the fair now draws more than 7,000 visitors a year, run entirely by a volunteer board and over 140 volunteers.

The 2026 edition, themed “From Farm To Fair,” leans into a strong motorsports lineup – a Saturday Demolition Derby, Friday and Saturday Truck & Tractor Pulls, and an ATV Expo and Mud Bog – alongside a genuinely deep exhibit program spanning produce, canning, sewing, quilting, woodworking, and crafts. Two new additions for this year, “Meet the Farmer” and “Touch a Truck,” add hands-on, family-oriented programming to the mix.

Music runs on two stages, indoor and out, all three days, and the fair opens Thursday evening with a parade through the community featuring local businesses and groups in costume – past years have seen floats dressed as bees and maple trees, a nice example of the fair’s genuinely homegrown character.

📅 Fair Schedule

💡 A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Go

🎟️ Get the 3-day pass if you want it all. At $25 for adults, the all-access pass covers the fair plus every motorsports event across all three days – a straightforward way to avoid re-paying at each gate.

🏫 Bring the class on Friday. Free admission for elementary school groups, homeschooled or traditional, makes Friday the natural day for a field trip.

👵 Seniors, aim for Friday between 10 AM and 4 PM. That’s the only window with the discounted $4 senior rate.

🖼️ You don’t have to live in Wainfleet to enter exhibits. Entries are explicitly open to residents anywhere in the Niagara Region and Dunnville, so it’s worth entering even if you’re coming from outside the township.

🚗 Plan for the Saturday night finale. The Demolition Derby, ATV Expo, and ATV Mud Bog run together as the fair’s biggest draw – arrive early if you want a good spot.
