Why the Coldwater Fall Fair is a Must-Visit

From the joy on a child’s face as they win a midway prize to the pride of local farmers displaying their best produce, the fair captures the heart of Simcoe County’s culture.
Families can spend the day on the midway rides, watching a lively competition, enjoying homemade treats, and exploring creative displays. Couples can make a date out of the fair, sharing cotton candy while taking in the live entertainment. And for those passionate about agriculture and food, the “Farm to Table” theme provides a deeper appreciation for the land and the people who nourish us.
The Coldwater Fall Fair also reflects the mission of the Coldwater & District Agricultural Society: to inspire, educate, and promote rural and agricultural life through entertainment, competitions, and community connections.
