The Priddis & Millarville Fair is an old fashioned, country style family fun event held on the third weekend in August. It brings our extended community together to renew friendships, celebrate rural life and have fun.

This free event, donations welcome, is suitable for all ages and packed with competitions, contests, exhibits, and live entertainment. Explore agricultural displays, enjoy hands-on Make and Take activities, and shop the famous Millarville Farmers’ Market on Saturday or Sunday.

Cheer on your favourites at the Tractor Pull and Rooster Crowing competitions, take part in pie eating, watermelon eating, Farm Strong games, watch stock dog demonstrations, get your face painted, meet local Firefighters, and bid at the pie and quilt auction.

More than just a weekend event, the Fair is a celebration of our heritage, agriculture, and the community connections that continue to shape Millarville.

Be part of the 119th Priddis & Millarville Fair by entering your own exhibit. Whether you are showcasing handmade work, homegrown produce, livestock, or equestrian skills, the Fair is your opportunity to take part in a long-standing community tradition.
