Fair History
The earliest recorded Fair held in Markham was in 1857 at the fairgrounds then located on the South East corner of the junction of Highways 7 and 48.
In 1977 the Fair relocated to its current site where the four day fair is held annually on the weekend preceding Canadian Thanksgiving.

By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace—

In the monarch Thought’s dominion,
It stood there!”
