Hold onto your corn on the cob, the Erin Fall Fair is back! 🎉 Join us for rides, laughs, and the best pumpkin pie this side of Wellington County! 🎃🍰

As the leaves start to change and the air gets a little crisper, it can only mean one thing – it’s that magical time of year again! The Erin Fall Fair is suiting up for an action-packed weekend of autumnal joy from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., and you won't want to miss out on the festivities. Imagine the sounds of laughter, the wafting aroma of buttery popcorn, and the sight of colorful rides whirling around under twinkling lights. It’s essentially a scene out of a movie, and the best part? You can be part of it all!

Taking place at the Erin Fairgrounds, this four-day extravaganza promises not just fun, but some serious family bonding time. With a slew of activities lined up, from thrilling rides to delicious apple cider, everyone from toddlers to grandparents will find something to holler about. But that’s not all—be prepared for craft booths, livestock exhibitions, and of course, the highly anticipated corn maze! It’s a chance to kick back, indulge in festival treats, and simply enjoy the company of your loved ones.

And if you aren’t already excited, this weekend is also the time for the Thanksgiving Day Road Races! Adding to the energy of the fair is the chance to lace up your running shoes and dash through the trees, all while working off those cotton candy calories! With your favorite running shoes on and some festive gear, this race will get you into the Thanksgiving spirit—how’s that for multitasking? Plus, nothing says “I love fall” like conquering a local race while surrounded by a sea of orange and gold leaves!

As the celebrations unfold, don’t forget to take part in the nightly entertainment offerings, such as circus acts, music performances and maybe even a chance to catch a glimpse of cute farm animals! As you snack on your funnel cake with one hand, and shimmy along to the live bands with the other, you better believe this will be a weekend to remember! And just in case you feel like stretching your creative muscles, you can also participate in various craft workshops — who knows, maybe you’ll leave with a new hobby!

Did you know that the Erin Fall Fair has been running for over 165 years? That makes it one of the oldest fall fairs in Ontario! Incredible, right? The fair is deeply entrenched in local culture and continues to be a cherished tradition where community spirit thrives — a true testament to its legacy! Also, while you're wandering through the fest, make sure to check out the impressive pumpkin displays. The competition is fierce, with growers striving to set records for the largest pumpkins — the bigger, the better! It just goes to show that in Erin, it’s not just the fun that’s gigantic, but also the community spirit!
