Havelock fair is one of the oldest consecutively-held fairs in Canada, grew out of the pride of what local farmers and their households produce and still holds close to its original goal to showcase rural agricultural life, both its joys and challenges. The Fair draws not only the local population but also people from neighbouring communities as well as larger urban centres whose ancestors may have lived a way of life of which the fair is a reminder. Throughout the years the fair has remained a community event worth celebrating. As a family day, a social time, it is fun and educational and it puts us in contact with the heart of rural life and its people. Main attractions nowadays include live music all day long, lunch, display of heritage and rare animal breeds, antique vehicles, arts and crafts, plants and flowers, fruits and vegetables, homemade produce and more.
