Acton Fall Fair - September 19th and 20th, 2026

 It was a great weekend to be at the Acton Fall Fair! 🎡

I enjoyed my two days at the 113th Acton Fall Fair on Saturday, September 19th and Sunday, September 20th! The weather was rain-free, with it being on the slightly cooler side, ultimately bringing out quite a crowd. It was nice taking in the sights and sounds of the fair once again and running into people I know!

Be sure to enjoy the photos from my weekend at the Acton Fall Fair! 🙂

Saturday, September 19th, 2026:

Saturday at the Acton Fall Fair started off a bit cool and cloudy.

I ventured down to the Agricultural Tent to see some of the livestock they had on display.

Here are some piglets on display in a pen on a platform.

Outside the Agricultural tent was a row of antique tractors.

At the end of the line was our family 1948 Ford tractor. Scott drove it in Friday morning just before Education Day took place for the school aged children.

The 4H kids were showing off their show cattle at the end ring at the far end of Prospect Park on the fairgrounds.

There was also a Plein Air painting competition Saturday Morning from 9am to 12pm, with judging at 12:30pm in the Dufferin Centre. Here is one of the paintings being painted out on the midway.

People started to check out the fair as it got closer to noon.

Afterwards, I joined my Mom to checkout the entries on display in the Dufferin Centre. Some of my photo and sunflower entries had placed!

After checking out the entries and winnings, I got myself a burger from the Acton Firefighters Association booth. All proceeds go towards the Canada Fireworks and the Santa Claus Parade.

I then sat and watched the blacksmith make a metal tool. It's nice that he was back for a second year.

The log cutting/saw mill guy was also back this year, too.

The midway wasn't too busy in the mid-afternoon, but that would change in a few hours!

Up next we checked out the poultry barn, which had many varieties of birds on display for judging.

My mom and I then went back to the Dufferin Centre for some free bingo. I was so close to winning on full card!

Later on, I got myself a beavertail treat from the booth that was on the midway. I got the Avalanche Beavertail with cheesecake, Skor bits, and caramel sauce.

In the late-afternoon and early evening, the sun came out, warming up the air a bit.

The sunnier weather and cooler temperatures brought out quite a crowd!

Delayed by an hour, the lawn tractor pulls began at 7pm. Unfortunately it was a short competition due to the weighted sled breaking down, causing the competition to be cancelled!

There's something about seeing families playing the carnival games at the Acton Fall Fair. It is quite a tradition.

As the night got darker, the lights on the midway rides provided by Albion Amusements began to shine!

While it is the 113th Acton Fall Fair, this is the fourth edition of the Acton Fall Fair to feature the light up sign on the entrance to the midway.

Later in the evening, Scott and I bought some ride tickets, because there's nothing like taking in a few rides at the fair!

The Mulligan Wheel continues to be quite a draw on the midway.

Here's a view of the kiddie midway from the Mulligan Wheel.

Here's a look down towards some of the larger rides at the Acton Fall Fair.

After a relaxing ride on the Mulligan Wheel, Scott and I did our dizzying annual ride on the Berry Go Round! We sure got our berry spinning fast! 🍓😵‍💫😂

After a little bit of a break from our ride on the Berry Go Round, we took a spin on the Sizzler.

Here's Scott and I before our ride! After our ride on the Sizzler, it was time to call it a night!

Sunday, September 20th, 2026:

Sunday started out much warmer and sunnier than Saturday!

Our cousin Brook brought her daughter Sydney up to the fair on Sunday, so we hung out with them for most of the day!

Here's Scott and Sydney taking a ride on the Himalaya!

Sydney then coached Scott and I onto the Zero Gravity.

We then took a lunch break while watching the antique tractor pull.

There were quite a few entrants of various ages!

Scott and I shared a bucket of fries.

After watching the antique tractor pull, we checked out the Agricultural Tent. There were some more cows in there than there was on Saturday.

The midway was bustling with crowds on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Scott, Sydney, and I then took a relaxing ride on the Mulligan Wheel.

As you can see, quite a few people were enjoying the fair!

Here's a look over the midway from the Mulligan Wheel.

Sydney and I then went on the Starship 3000. I used to ride this a lot as a kid, but as a 30 year old adult, it does things to your back! 😂 She ended up loving it!

You can feel the warmth of the sun through this photo!

Scott and I then took Sydney on the Berry Go Round for a wild ride! Let's just say we all felt dizzy after that! 😂

Scott and I took one final ride on the Mulligan Wheel before the Acton Fall Fair came to a close for another year!

Overall, it was another great Acton Fall Fair with tons to see and do! Until next year! 👋 🙂

Canada's Wonderland - September 11th, 2026

 On the evening of September 11th, my brother Scott and I went to Canada's Wonderland for an evening of Oktoberfest fun!

We had a fun four hours taking in the sights of Oktoberfest being held in Medieval Faire, enjoying some of the great food served during the event! We also managed to get on quite a few rides too.

Be sure to enjoy the photos from my ninth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland! 🙂🥨🎢

We arrived at the park just before 5:30pm for an evening of Oktoberfest, held at the park on select days from September 11th to 20th, 2026.

The sun was shining brightly as the evening began to cool down.

Oktoberfest is set up in Medieval Faire in front of Canterbury Theatre.

Our first ride of the evening was on Leviathan.

Up next was a ride on Vortex!

Recently the park's maintenance team has installed new shock absorbers on Vortex on the first half of the trains. These new shocks prevent the cars from swinging insanely as you hit the brake run. While they decrease the swinging of the cars, I guess they do help by putting less stress on the track caused by the swinging of the cars over the years, ultimately (hopefully) increasing the life span of Vortex as it is celebrating 35 years of operation this year.

We then walked back over to Medieval Faire for a ride on Drop Tower.

We then went over to Oktoberfest for a meal.

Here is one of the Oktoberfest performers.

Here were the offerings at this year's addition of Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest Flatbread was new.

Here's a look at the food options that could be ordered during this year's Oktoberfest event!

I ordered the chicken schnitzel with a side of herbed spaetzle.

The chicken schnitzel was served on a soft pretzel bun. It was all very delicious. Scott ordered the Oktoberfest Flatbread with a side of apple sauce.

There were German music performers playing at Oktoberfest.

The crowd seemed to be enjoying their music!

After a delicious meal, I ordered the Everything Pretzels with Obatzda cheese spread. They were quite soft and very tasty, too!

The Happy Wanderers really brought the spirit of Oktoberfest to the park!

Here's another performer, a juggler juggling pins above his head!

After eating and enjoying the Oktoberfest festivities, we took a ride on Dragon Fyre.

We then took a spin on Spinovator.

We then began to venture to the Frontier Canada and Action Zone sections of the park. On our way over, we noticed the park has began to set up for Halloween Haunt, which begins on September 25th.

We took a thrilling ride on Tundra Twister! We managed to get some good rocking action during this cycle!

Up next was a ride on Mighty Canadian Minebuster. Once we got on, the sun had set, giving us an amazing night ride!

Up next was a ride on Behemoth! It sures flies after dark!

We then rode Sledge Hammer which was fun as always!

We then took a night ride on The DareDeviler!

It still rides very good with the new trains that were introduced this summer! I like how this photo turned out, making the orange train just a blur!

We then walked back over to AlpenFest. On our way over, I captured this beautiful nighttime view of the Royal Fountain from the bridge on International Street.

Wonder Mountain was also quite beautiful at night.

We then hopped on Thunder Run. It seemed faster than usual! Maybe it was, or the cooler weather was giving that illusion.

Scott decided to sit out on AlpenFury, my final ride of the night!

Here's the inverted top hat element peaking out behind the peaks of Wonder Mountain.

With my single use Fast Lane pass thanks to my Prestige pass, I got on AlpenFury in just a little over 5 minutes! The train looks ghostly at night as it zips into the depths of Wonder Mountain! My last ride of the day was amazing as I got a backrow seat on AlpenFury! It's a very fun night ride!

After a great evening of Oktoberfest and rides, it was time to go home! Thanks for checking out the photos from our visit to Canada's Wonderland! 🙂
