Agricultural Showcases and Livestock Competitions
Agriculture remains at the core of the Almonte Fair. This year’s event features a full slate of Livestock Shows, including the popular Lanark County Holstein Show, Beef Cattle Show, and Sheep Show. These exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity for local producers and 4-H members to present their best stock, showcasing the strength and diversity of farming in the region.
Visitors can also enjoy the Light Horse Show, where skilled riders and beautiful horses demonstrate their agility and training in a variety of classes. Throughout the fairgrounds, Agricultural Exhibits and interactive agriculture education activities provide guests of all ages with hands-on learning experiences, from crops and farm equipment to the importance of sustainability in modern farming.
Homecrafts and Midway Excitement
The Homecraft Competitions return with a display of culinary creations, handicrafts, quilts, preserves, floral arrangements, and more. These entries are not only impressive to admire but serve as a tribute to the time-honored skills passed down through generations.
Just outside the exhibition hall, the Midway offers all the excitement and lights one expects from a classic fair. With rides for both thrill-seekers and little ones, and games of chance and skill, the midway is a must-visit attraction for families looking for fun and adventure.

Entertainment takes center stage at the Almonte Fair, with a weekend filled with Live Music and Live Entertainment acts.
