The Uxbridge Fair transforms Elgin Park into a lively celebration of agriculture, rural traditions, and community life each September. Located in the heart of Uxbridge, the fair combines the nostalgic atmosphere of a classic Ontario country fair with enough action, entertainment, and variety to fill an entire day. Families arrive to the sounds of midway rides, livestock barns, live demonstrations, and the powerful engines competing in the fair’s popular motorsport events.
Agriculture remains at the heart of the experience. Visitors can watch cattle, sheep, goats, and heavy horses enter the show ring while learning more about the farmers, breeders, and 4-H members who care for them. The heavy horse show and horse pull offer an especially impressive look at the strength, teamwork, and agricultural heritage of these remarkable animals. Inside the exhibition buildings, homecraft and agricultural competitions showcase everything from garden produce and flowers to preserves, baking, photography, artwork, and handmade creations.
For visitors seeking more excitement, the tractor pull and demolition derby are signature fair attractions. The tractor pull fills the grounds with roaring engines and determined competitors, while the demolition derby delivers an evening of collisions, cheers, and unpredictable action. The midway adds another layer of energy with rides, games, bright lights, and familiar fairground treats enjoyed by children, teenagers, and adults alike.
The Uxbridge Fair is also a reflection of the people who organize it. Volunteers, local businesses, agricultural families, performers, and community groups come together to create an event that feels genuinely connected to the town. Visitors can wander between animal shows, entertainment areas, food vendors, competitions, and family activities without the experience ever feeling overly commercial.
Whether you come for the horses, the midway, the exhibits, or the demolition derby, the Uxbridge Fair offers a memorable introduction to the agricultural character and community spirit of northern Durham Region.
