Acton Fall Fair - September 20th, and 21st, 2025

 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! 🙂

Acton Fall Fair - September 21st, 2019

Day two (September 21st) of the 106th Acton Fall Fair was another fun day! The weather was yet again nice and warm, allowing many people to come take in the sights and sounds of the fair.

In the afternoon, my good friend Travis came up for a visit to see the Acton Fall Fair. We checked out the venues and rode a few rides together, as he hadn't been to the fair in four years. Overall, it was another great day! Photos from day one of the fair can be viewed here.

After arriving at the Acton Fall Fair in the morning, I headed into the Dufferin Community Centre to look at more of the entries.

Here are the jams and preservative entries.

Over here are the photography contest entries.

There were many baked goods and antiques entries at the fair this year.

After looking at the home craft entries, I headed over to the Poultry barn. There, the judges were judging the chickens and ducks.

On Saturday, the midway rides do not open until 11am.

The midway rides sat quietly as they awaited the 11am opening.

Nearly an hour later, the midway and fairgrounds were bustling with fun and excitement!

The Carousel was greatly enjoyed by the young children visiting the fair.

Zero Gravity was thrilling a few passengers in the early afternoon.

The Avalanche always seem to draw a crowd regardless of the time of day!

A ride on the Scooter bumper cars is a fun time for visitors of all ages!

Children of all ages enjoy taking a try at the Balloon Popping game as they can win a prize every time they play.

The lawn tractor pulls are one of the highlight events on the track at the Acton Fall Fair. They continued well into the evening.

Saturday evening is the busiest time to visit the fair. The warm weather helps draw even larger crowds.

Travis and I rode three rides together, which included the Tilt-A-Whirl, Berry-Go-Round, and the Mulligan Wheel.

The midway always comes to life as the sun sets off in the horizon.

The Orbiter was quite a blur as it hurtles passengers in to orbit.

The Cuckoo Haus fun house was quite bright and was extremely popular during the day.

The warm summer-like evenings are the most enjoyable times to visit the fair.

After Travis headed home, I captured this vibrant shot of the midway.

Here I am on my favourite midway ride, the Tilt-A-Whirl!

The Scooter bumper cars boasts a colourful array of lights.

The lights on the Himalaya were quite flashy. It's too bad that a few of them were burnt out.

The strobe lights on the Zero Gravity were flashing mid-way through the duration of the ride.

Here's a view of the midway from the Tilt-A-Whirl before taking my final ride of the night on it.

After another great day at the Acton Fall Fair, it was time to head on home! Photos from the third and final day of the 106th Acton Fall Fair can be viewed here!
