History of the Georgetown Fall Fair
The Georgetown Fall Fair, held in Georgetown, Ontario, has a rich agricultural history that dates back to the mid-19th century. Founded in 1846, the fair was established to support local farmers and foster agricultural development in Halton Hills and the surrounding areas. Over time, it grew into a beloved community tradition that continues to celebrate rural life and local heritage.
In its early years, the Georgetown Fair focused heavily on livestock competitions, crop displays, and domestic arts, offering a platform for showcasing the region’s agricultural accomplishments. Farmers would travel from across the county to exhibit their cattle, horses, grains, and handmade goods.
As the fair evolved, it added more family-friendly entertainment and educational opportunities. By the 20th century, the fairgrounds came alive each September with horse pulls, 4-H shows, midway rides, school competitions, petting zoos, and local music performances. The fair became a major social event—bringing together people of all ages to celebrate the harvest and community spirit.
Today, the Georgetown Fall Fair blends time-honoured traditions with new and exciting attractions. Run by the Georgetown Agricultural Society, the fair continues to offer a full schedule of events that include truck and tractor pulls, demolition derbies, homecraft displays, local food vendors, and youth competitions.
Held annually in early September, the Georgetown Fall Fair remains a proud symbol of the town’s rural roots, a gathering place for neighbours and families, and a celebration of the enduring connection between agriculture and community.
