About the Fair
May 27 to May 30, 2010
The Schomberg Fair is probably a lot different than you're picturing... The Schomberg Fairgrounds aren't located out in the middle of a muddy field on the outskirts of town, quite the contrary actually... The Schomberg Fairgrounds are located right in the heart of downtown Schomberg. The grounds are separated from the Main Street by a gently flowing river that runs parallel to the road. There is an arena, rides, plenty of parking and genuine agricultural fairgrounds - all of which are surrounded by rolling hills and small town neighbourhoods. The Schomberg Fair is the heart of Schomberg! If you haven't been to the fair before, come see what you've been missing for the past 159 years... The Schomberg Fair - a great way to experience and support the agricultural community.
Did You Know?
The Schomberg and Aurora Railway (S&AR, also nicknamed the "Annie Roonie") was a 36 km long railway running from the town of Schomberg to Oak Ridges, just south of Aurora. It connected Schomberg to the Toronto and York Radial Railway (T&YRR) tram service running along Yonge Street. With the introduction of the train, the Market in Schomberg and the annual Fair became much more popular. The service ran for 25 years between 1902 and 1927; the rails were pulled up shortly thereafter.
