166th Parkhill Fair
August 6 - 9th, 2026
The Parkhill Fair is nearly here!
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 high school, up & down Catherine St, and via the Hwy 7 Entrance.
** 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 11 am, we are planning a brunch under the beer tent and a vendors market in the adjoining parking lot. Sam's Scales & Tails will have a cool reptile show going on (11-2 pm) and wrestling with Cody Deaner & friends will be in the Community Centre at 1pm.
And in maybe the biggest change of all, we expect to have debit machines for the first time at gates & other locations!
Parkhill Fair's Sandbaggers Bash welcomes
Thunderstruck
a top Ontario AC/DC tribute band !!
