The volunteer driven, 169th Annual Campbellford Fair returns starts at 6:00 pm on August 11th and is running until Sunday, August 13th.
It will be a jam packed weekend of activities starting with the opening ceremonies at 6:00 on Friday and back this year, the midway will be operating all weekend.

Twigg says this is something a lot of people look forward to each year.
“It’s a great way to see new faces and catch up with friends,” said Twigg. “As a farmer, the agricultural show is of course close to my hear and I will be operating the Egg Education Centre but the fair is a great way to learn more about where food comes from and talk to the folks who have experience farming it.”
Twigg says they have brought back the midway this year.
Advance Tickets are available at the Wine Barrel in Campbellford and the Robin’s Nest in Warkworth but tickets are also available at the gates. Single day and weekend passes are available.
The 169th Annual Campbellford Fair takes place on the fairgrounds, just past the arena and near the Campbellford Curling Club, out Front Street in Campbellford, Ontario. For more information about the 169th Annual Campbellford Fair visit — Campbellford Fair.
