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 !!
