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 - August 31st, 2026

 What a great way to end the month of August! 🎢

Today I made my eighth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland with my mom! With it being rainy most of the day, I managed to get on a total of 26 different rides in 8 hours, with a re-ride on White Water Canyon and Vortex and two additional rides on AlpenFury! I took up on a free single play of the basketball game through my pass perk. While I didn't win, it was worth a shot.

Also during my visit, I checked out the wooden markings that recently appeared on the former land of Time Warp. The markings are looking to be for a roller coaster or other tracked attraction, but only time will tell! 👀

Overall it was a great day, as my last weekday visit of the season! I'm greatly looking forward to weekend visits at the park this Fall! Enjoy the photos of my visit, below! 🙂

It sure was raining quite hard when we pulled into the parking lot on the last day of August!

With a water resistant jacket on, I was prepared to ride!

I was going to make AlpenFury my first ride of the day, but it was having technical difficulties. So, there was no early ride time to be had on AlpenFury during this visit! 🙁

Instead, I made my first ride of the day on Thunder Run!

I then took a ride on Vortex, which felt insanely fast in the rain!

My mom and I then ventured down to Action Zone where I took a ride on Behemoth. All the rides, including the larger coasters were practically walk-ons all day!

With line lines being non-existent in the morning, I then hopped onto Backlot Stunt Coaster. It looks like the sign shop finally made an arrow at the entrance of Backlot Stunt Coaster to prevent people from going down the exit path by mistake!

My next ride was on Mighty Canadian Minebuster. It was absolutely flying with the rain on the tracks!

I then dived 230 feet on Yukon Striker! Luckily the rain had let up a bit by the time I got on it!

I then had a solo ride on Tundra Twister, which gave some good stalls and a head dive towards the ground!

As it was 11am, I ventured to White Water Canyon where I got two laps on it as the line was non-existent! It's hard to believe Labour Day is just around the corner!

After having two rides on White Water Canyon, I got lunch at Lazy Bear Lodge. I ordered the chicken drumsticks with a side of smashed potato wedges. The chicken drumstick meal is now served with three drumsticks.

After lunch, I took my first ride of the day on AlpenFury! Front row rides are still very insane!

Speaking of insane, Shockwave was giving insane rides with many flips during this visit!

I then took a ride on The Bat as it had a less than 5 minute wait!

After The Bat, a solo ride on Drop Tower was next! There's something about being the only one on a ride high above the ground! 😅

Once back on the ground, I rode Leviathan! I hadn't been in the second row in a while, so that was a nice change!

Medieval Faire was quite foggy throughout the day!

Up next was a spin-dry cycle ride on Spinovator.

I then took a spin on the classic Dragon Fyre.

To my surprise, a modified version of Watchtower dive show on Arthur's Baye in Medieval Faire went on at 1:30pm.

Regardless of the rain, the performers did some high diving stunts!

The flowers around the park did very well this summer with all the rain they received!

After I rode many rides in Medieval Faire, we headed over to the Grande World Expo.

The DareDeviler stands out on rainy days with its new paint scheme.

Sadly the Grande World Eatery is closed once again. Hopefully it reopens this Fall!

Since my last visit to Canada's Wonderland on August 14th, a new wooden fence and markings have appeared on the land of the former Time Warp.

The markings even went along the queue of The DareDeviler, near Kingswood.

Today I got a front row ride on The DareDeviler! It is just so much fun with the new trains!

Here's a closer look at the new fence put up around the former land of Time Warp.

One would think that many markings must indicate something big is coming to the park.

Here's a close-up on one of the markings by the former station of Time Warp.

Here's another one near the former entrance of Time Warp.

The temporary fencing has been removed, reveling the old entrance of the former Time Warp roller coaster. I am guessing the theming will be reused for whatever is coming next!

There are more markings heading up towards the Kingswood Event building.

The window on the former box office to Kingswood Music Theatre was boarded up after being open for the past few years.

My Mom and I took a spin on the Antique Carousel.

Here's my mom and I on the Antique Carousel.

Sadly the floor of the Antique Carousel is quite dirty.

After a relaxing ride on Antique Carousel, I took a thrilling ride on Sledge Hammer!

I then took a ride on Psyclone, facing the sky on today's ride!

Afterwards, I took a spin on Swing of the Century. The double seats are even popular on rainy days!

During this visit I had possibly my worst ride on Krachenwagen. The floor was wet from the rain, causing the cars not to move very well, causing pile ups on the floor!

Klockwerks was providing a swinging time in the rain!

I then took another ride on Vortex, this time in the middle of the train.

The line was really short for AlpenFury, so I took another ride on it!

I then had my second meal of the day from Apres Poutinerie in AlpenFest. The cheese actually melted a bit, which was good!

I then walked over to Planet Snoopy for a ride on Ghoster Coaster...

Followed by a ride on Snoopy's Racing Railway!

As it was a very quiet, rainy day at the park, I even took Taxi Jam for a spin in Kidzville. 😂

On my way out of Kidzville, I took a ride on the fun Flying Eagles!

One of the pass perks this month was a free single play at the basketball game. Due to the rain, the game by Wonder Mountain was closed for most of the day. Luckily it opened in the late-afternoon. I gave it a shot, but didn't get the ball in the net! I was very close!

Before heading out, I took a third ride on AlpenFury! Three rides on AlpenFury in one day is really good in my books!

Here's my mom and I before heading home! 🙂
