Rural tradition meets modern family entertainment at the Metcalfe Fair!
2025 will mark the 169th anniversary of this fall tradition, held annually in the Village of Metcalfe.
The home of the Metcalfe Fair is 24 acres of land on the outskirts of the Village in rural south Ottawa. We’re located at 2821 8th Line Road, Metcalfe.
Our fairgrounds feature well-maintained accessible buildings and plenty of green space.
We are also home to many community activities, including the Metcalfe Farmers’ Market, Shroomfest, livestock shows and sales, weddings, and many other public and private events.
Held every year since 1856, the Metcalfe Fair is one of the premier agricultural exhibitions in Ontario.
We’re pretty proud of it, and we hope that next year, you’ll “Make it YOUR Fair.”
