| - The Schomberg Fair is an annual agricultural fair held in late May in Schomberg, a community in the township of King in Ontario, Canada. It starts on the Thursday following Victoria Day, and runs through to Sunday. It is staged at the Schomberg Agricultural Fairgrounds, also known as the Schomberg Fairgrounds, which is adjacent to the Holland River. In 1852, the Township of King established the annual King Township Fall Fair, which was held in one of the communities of Aurora, Kettleby, King City, Laskay, Nobleton, or Schomberg. In 1872, a permanent location was selected, and the fair renamed The Schomberg Agricultural Fair, and the Schomberg Agricultural Society was organized to operate it. Agricultural land was purchased adjacent to the community to be the site of the fair. The fair has expanded beyond simply an agricultural showcase, and now includes numerous activities. No fair was held between 1917–18 nor 1942–45. The 2020 fair was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario. From 2012-2020, the fair board tried to attract a dwindling host of volunteers and saw most of its representatives come from outside the local community. The former arena on the north end of the fairgrounds houses the Parks, Recreation and Culture department of the municipal government of King. (en)
