Presidents Message

On behalf of the New Liskeard Agricultural Society, I would like to welcome you back onto the fairgrounds to attend our 121st New Liskeard Fall Fair. The New Liskeard Fall Fair is one of Northern Ontario’s largest fairs featuring three action-packed days of agricultural activities, animal shows, entertainment, and many other attractions. 

This year’s fair will showcase local talents in our homecraft, junior and horticulture sections, feature livestock shows and market sales, light and draft horse shows, and a variety of local entertainment including harvest queen and baby contests. Our agriculture awareness tent focuses on educating children of all ages in a fun and interactive manner. You also don’t want to miss the midway, concessions, craft beer garden, and the chance to get out and enjoy quality time with your friends and family. 

We would like to thank our many volunteers and sponsors who make our event possible. Without the support of our generous community, we would not have been able to make this event as successful as it is today. 

We hope to see you out to enjoy the 2023 New Liskeard Fall Fair held on September 14th through to 16th! Learn, laugh, share, grow!

Thank you,

Meghann
