What a great weekend it was at the Acton Fall Fair!
I visited on September 20th and 21st this year for the 112 annual Acton Fall Fair. It was nice taking in the sights and sounds of the fair, seeing people I haven't seen in a while, and even taking in a few rides! The weather was perfect, too!
Be sure to enjoy my photos from the Acton Fall Fair on Saturday and Sunday! 🙂🎡
As a bonus, i did some filming during Saturday at the Acton Fall Fair using my 1995 JVC film camera. So be on the look out for some retro-looking Acton Fall Fair footage!

Two years ago the Acton Fair sign was added. This year, a maple leaf and 2025 were added. It looked really nice! |
 |
There are many demonstrations at the Acton Fall Fair, including a blacksmith. He made a metal hook during his demonstration. |
 |
During Saturday morning, there were horse showing competitions on the track. |
 |
There weren't too many entries in the horse competitions this year. I have heard there are some horse diseases going around. Hopefully it passes! |
 |
By the early afternoon, the midway was bustling with excitement! |
 |
During the 2024/2025 off-season, Albion Amusements repainted their Mulligan gondola wheel. The new colours really stand out! |
 |
The Scooter bumper cars are always a classic on the midway! |
 |
The sun began to come out! |
 |
The warmth of the sun felt nice! |
 |
A horseshoe throwing competition was taking place at the fair end of the midway. |
 |
At the far end of the midway was the 4H arena. Many kids were showing off their cattle. |
 |
I love spending days at the fair when it isn't too hot or rainy! |
 |
I really like the new paint job! Hopefully Albion Amusements work on the lights next! |
 |
For a few hours during the afternoon on Saturday, our cousin Brook and her daughter Sydney met up with us for some Acton Fall Fair fun! Here is Scott and Sydney on the Himalaya. |
 |
I enjoyed a very tasty soft-serve ice cream sundae from the ice cream truck. Also during the day, I had a hamburger from the Acton Fire Fighters Association booth and a hot dog from Gord's Hotdogs. |
 |
The poultry barn had many entries this year. |
 |
Here's a wood cutting demonstration. |
 |
Just after 6pm, the lawn tracker pulls began on the track! There were quite a few entries that pull the weight sled quite far for lawn tractors! |
 |
I've always loved the twinkling of the midway lights as the sun begins to set. |
 |
The Mulligan wheel was almost a silhouette in this photo. |
 |
It sure shines bright in the dark! |
 |
| During the evening, Scott and I hung out with our friend Travis.
|
 |
One of our annual traditions is to ride the Berry-Go-Round! We made our berry spin very fast! 🤣 |
 |
After a bit of a break from the Berry-Go-Round, we eventually took a spin on the Mulligan Wheel. |
 |
It looks beautiful with its new paint job! |
 |
The midway lights sure brighten up the midway at night! |
 |
Sunday morning at the Acton Fall Fair started with watching the 4H members showing off sheep. Some weren't very cooperative! |
 |
Scott and I took a ride on the Mulligan wheel before the midway got busier. |
 |
It always provides a nice view of the midway. |
 |
Here we are on the Mulligan Wheel. |
 |
After 12pm was the Antique Tracker pulls on the track. |
 |
Some of the pulled the weighted sled quite far! |
 |
Sunday was significantly warmer than Saturday, reaching over 25°C by mid-afternoon! |
 |
Signs of Fall are definitely all around, including at Prospect Park, where the Acton Fall Fair is held. |
 |
The crowds started to slowly dwindle as Scott and I took our last ride of the fair on the Mulligan Wheel and Berry-Go-Round. |
 |
It was such a nice day! |
 |
That's a wrap of the 2025 Acton Fall Fair! |
 |
| Here's myself, my dad, my brother Scott, and my mom. We all had a great time! 🙂
