Fairgrounds
The fairgrounds are located in northern Markham at McCowan Road and Elgin Mills Road and sits of 104 acres of land. The site has several buildings used to house trade shows and other events. A 1/2 mile track and stables are used to store animals.
The original fairground was located at the present day Markham Village Library at southeast corner of Markham Road and Highway 7. The fair moved to the current site in 1977, as the original fairground area grew less agricultural. The current library building was built to mimic the shape of the old Agricultural Hall that once stood at the site. A fire in 1916 burned down the new hall, ice rink and other buildings.
