Overview
Richmond Fair – “A Country Fair Where Town & Country Meet.” The Fair is unique in that it is the largest spectator event held annually within the former municipality of Goulbourn attracting up to 40,000 people. The Fair strives to promote agricultural awareness within the City of Ottawa. The Saturday morning parade, one of the largest in the Ottawa Valley, annually features up to 100 entries. The Fair provides those in the community a venue to showcase their arts, crafts, livestock, local produce, etc. The Fair is a place to meet and visit old and new friends and neighbours.
The Fair is a truly family event to entertain all ages. Although the Fair mandate is to promote agricultural awareness within the community, the other non-agricultural events such as the demolition derby, aerial shows, rock climbing, reptile shows, BMX bike shows, etc. are all very entertaining.
