Millarville AB Foothills CountyThe Priddis & Millarville Fair is unique in Canada as the longest-running, community-supported, old-time country Fair.
Located at the Millarville Racetrack.
The Fair is the place to come to learn about Alberta’s agricultural heritage.
Come to the Farm Yard and see llamas, miniature horses, sheep, cows, and goats. There is even a Poop Identification Station to test your knowledge of scat from domestic and wild animals.
The Barns have Beef Cattle, Sheep, and Rabbits on display and in competition. The Poultry classes can be seen in the Quonset.
The bench exhibits that have been judged for ribbons, and prizes are in the Arena. You can view the work of local artisans, gardeners, photographers, and woodworkers. Artistic pasture art, aka licked salt blocks that have been judged, is also on view. There are Wildside exhibitors in the arena. You can visit live birds of prey, make a flappy bat, and learn about hummingbird tagging.
We have antique engines and tractors, and Model As and Model Ts, that span the generations.
Horse riding competitions include light horse English, Western, and Gymkhana.
Contests include pie and watermelon eating, rooster crowing, tractor pulls, and hale bale tossing…
Face painting, visiting the honey bees, watching stock dog demonstrations, or learning how to line dance are all part of the fun. You can also paint a rock, decorate a cookie, experiment with digital art, and visit the Sheep Creek Weavers, who have tents set up for demos and interactive activities.
The Millarville Historical Society has many photos and wonderful historical collections on display.
Agriculture For Life is bringing their interactive trailer to help you Know Your Food.
Our markets are open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. With products made, baked, or grown in Alberta, you can support local Farmers and Crafters at our markets.
Our theme is “Country Fun for Everyone” and we’re very serious about our fun!
