166th Parkhill Fair
August 6 - 9th, 2026
The Parkhill Fair is nearly here!
** New this year **
** The derby has moved to Saturday at 3 pm !! **
Our favourite wrestler, Cody Deaner, will now be setting the record straight on Sunday at 1pm.
Friday night will continue to have Opening Ceremonies in the Arena where we will have a local Talent Show, Pie auction (yum!), the Ambassador program, and the Exhibit winners!
Saturday will be our main activity day. Play in the kids competitions and the new 2026 FunZone (11-6pm), see exhibits, farm animals, food trucks and more! Demolition derby starts at 3pm on Saturday.
Sunday is being reinvented. Starting at 9 am, we are planning a brunch outside of the arena. Sam's Scales & Tails will have a cool reptile show going on (9 am - 12 pm) and Pro Wrestling with Cody Deaner & friends will be in the Community Centre at 1pm.
And for maybe the biggest change of all, we will have a debit machine under the beer tent that can be used for drink tickets, midway wristbands, and 50/50!
Come visit us for a weekend full of family fun! We are located at 226 McLeod St in Parkhill, Ontario (in and around the arena). Parking is available at North Middlesex District high school, up & down Catherine St, and via the Hwy 7 Entrance.
