From 25-cent treats, old-fashioned kids’ games and family entertainment, to agricultural displays, horse-drawn ploughing demonstrations and heritage horse and cattle shows, there will be something for everyone to enjoy at Upper Canada Village’s upcoming Fall Fair, one of a variety of celebrations in the Village’s “Flavours of Autumn” event series being offered this year. On Sept. 19 and 20, the Village fairgrounds will be brought to life with this entertaining recreation of a traditional 1860s agricultural exhibition.
The Fall Fair is an excellent opportunity to see the best of things made and grown at Upper Canada Village. Agricultural and dairy products, vegetables, flowers, handiwork and fine art will all be on display in the Floral Hall. (The Floral Hall will be open to visitors starting on Sept. 17 to allow early viewing of entries.) All entries are characteristic of the 1860s and meet guidelines set out by Upper Canada Village, giving the sense of a true 19th-century fair.
This year, visitors to the fair will be entertained with traditional Horse-drawn Ploughing Demonstrations taking place from 1 to 3 p.m. each day. A Heritage Horse & Cattle Show featuring the Canadian Horse will both again be part of the program.
Children are invited to participate in several 19th-century games taking place throughout the weekend. Ring toss, three-legged races, sack races, wheel barrow races, and more are being organized to provide young visitors with a taste of some good old-fashioned fun.
