The origin of fall fairs in Ontario goes back to the Bobcaygeon Fall Fair in Kawartha Lakes (at least as claimed on the Bobcaygeon website). This year they are celebrating 147 years taking us back to 1858. However, the Markham Fall Fair was started in 1844.

The nature of fall fairs has changed since the 1800’s when the harvest ended and farmers came together, to talk about yield and techniques usually set up in the forum of an agricultural society. Of course, there were always competitions, as to best yields and talks of the best “bull”, all evolving into fall fair competitions, for the best corn relish, or cherry pie, or best Rose, or rabbit, or antique, or home made quilt. Today the fall fairs still bring together the farming community and the public with many fun events, activities, homemade products, including arts and crafts, and the competitive side and tradition of deciding who has the best at the “Fall Fair”.
