Spencerville Fair

Spencerville Fair

The Spencerville Fair, also known as "The Biggest-Little Fair in Eastern Ontario" is an annual celebration of harvest which unites the surrounding community of Spencerville, Ontario every second weekend in September. The first fair was held in December 1855 on the south side of the South Nation River. Today, the fair is held at the fair grounds in the middle of the village. These grounds contain a grandstand, race track, various show barns and a multi-million dollar community building.

The Spencerville fair is a much-anticipated event attended by over 25,000 people annually. Attractions include the many rides and games, the Saturday parade, numerous exhibits, the giant pumpkin contest, teen and adult dances, cotton candy, bands, horse races, barbecues, socials, and the fair ambassador competition.

The Spencerville Agricultural Society organizes this event and is made up of numerous community volunteers. The hard work and dedication of these members, as well as the families and visitors who attend this event annually have allowed this fair to continue and prosper for 150 years.
