The Milford Fall Fair
Canada's Best Little Country Fair - Saturday September 18th, 2021
On June 2nd 2020, the Milford Fall Board reluctantly decided, based on a broad set of inputs, that we will be unable to host a fair in 2020. The safety of our community is paramount and there was too much uncertainty surrounding Covid19 to plan a meaningful event.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time since 1946 we have been unable to hold an event.
HOWEVER, this year, 2021, will be the Fair's 75th anniversary and we are going to give it our darnedest to catch up and make it one to remember!
Nevertheless times are still very uncertain and we won't know until later this year whether or no we can run the fair so stay tuned.
So in the meantime, stay safe, well and socially distanced and we hope to see everyone in the Fall.
Milford Fall Fair since 1946!
The Milford Fall Fair has been running continuously since 1946 when it welcomed home returning soldiers from World War Two.
Since then the Milford Fall Fair has been run on the second Saturday of September as a community and family focused event on the Milford Fair Grounds (Mt. Tabor).
Food, exhibits, music, craft vendors, animals, contests, activities for all and our world famous parade are all part of the fun.
Come join us and see what makes our event feel unique.
