Providence Bay Agricultural Fair

The Providence Bay Agricultural Society hosts the annual Providence Bay Agricultural Fair in Providence Bay on the South Shore of Manitoulin Island. This annual event has been a staple in the island culture for over 130 years.   Guests from all over flock to this small community the third weekend in August every year to be entertained by local and provincial vendors and entertainers. Events run rain or shine all weekend long. The annual Ambassador competition kicks off the weekend on Friday evening starting at 7:30. The parade running from the beach to the fair grounds starts at 11:30 Saturday morning bringing laughter and excitement to the fair grounds. Come visit the exhibit hall where local residents display their year long labours of crafting, sewing, woodwork and photographs. Other events throughout the weekend include the pie eating contest, heavy and light horse pull, Albion Amusements, motocross racing, and much more. See you there!
