Make Date Night at the Fair
Way more memorable!
Thirty dollars gets you both in. Live music every night, a Ferris wheel at sunset, food you'd never cook at home, and a stuffed animal one of you has to carry around for four hours. Some of the best nights out in London happen right here.

★ The Plan
A perfect night, hour by hour!
You don't have to follow this. But if you want someone else to do the planning, here it is.
5:00 PM - Arrive early, eat cheap
Get in before 6 PM and hit the $6 Before 6 food specials. Split a few things instead of committing to one meal. Try the Filipino poutine at Kuya Jay's or the birria tacos at Mexican Street Food.
6:00 PM - Take a spin at the games
Ring toss, balloon darts, the high striker. One of you will insist you've almost got it. Nobody is leaving until somebody wins something.
6:30 PM - Watch something ridiculous
Head to the Carousel Stage for the nightly competition. Cow Call Idol, Whisker Wars, Poop the Potato. You will laugh. You might enter.
7:30 PM - Hit the midway
Ring of Fire, Mega Drop, or the Crazy Mouse if you want adrenaline. Or Tilt-A-Whirl and the Scooters if you want to laugh instead of scream.
8:30 PM - Giant Wheel at golden hour
Ninety feet up, the whole midway lit below you, the London skyline behind. This is the photo you'll actually keep.
9:00 PM - Live music to close it out
The Bud Light Music Garden runs every single night. Rock, country, tribute acts, Norteño, hip hop. Grab a drink, find a spot, stay till the last song.
★ Pick Your Night
Ten nights, ten different vibes
Live music every night at the Bud Light Music Garden, free with admission.
Sun Sept 11
THE STRUMBELLAS
The Strumbellas know that misery loves company, and that if we’re together, even in dark times, there’s some joy in that.
Sat Sept 12
Wide Mouth Mason
Wide Mouth Mason is a blues/rock/roots trio renowned for their fluid, agile musicianship and dynamic live performances.
Sun Sept 13
Texas King
Canadian rock, loud and tight. If you want a proper live band night, this is the one.
Games worth winning, together!
Half the fun is watching each other try to play the games.
One of you is carrying home a giant stuffed banana either way.
Balloon Darts
Three darts, a wall of balloons, and far too much confidence. Pop two in a row and you own the night.
Basketball Hoops
Those rims are smaller than they look and you will find that out fast. Sink one and you'll bring it up for years.
Ring Toss
The one everybody thinks they're good at. Land your rings, pick your prize, and let the loser buy the lemonade.
Note: These are the kinds of games running on the midway. The games lineup is subject to change.
Food you'd never cook at home!
Share everything. Order a few things, split them all, and try at least one thing neither of you can pronounce.
Birria Tacos
Crispy, cheesy, dunked in consomé. Mexican Street Food does them properly. Get the double order.
Ice-cream
Because every great date deserves a sweet ending. Pick your favourite flavour and enjoy it together.
Fresh Lemonade
Squeezed in front of you, sour enough to make you wince. Perfect to pass back and forth while you walk.
Mini Donuts
Straight out of the fryer, rolled in cinnamon sugar, gone in ninety seconds. Get the big bag, you'll want it.
Poutine
Fresh curds, thick gravy, toppings that shouldn't work but absolutely do. The Filipino poutine at Kuya Jay's is the one to beat.
On a Stick
Corn dogs, sausages, anything they can get onto a skewer. Fair food tastes better standing up under the lights.
Meet the animals between rides
When the midway gets loud, the Animal Barn is the quietest and sweetest stop on the grounds. Thirteen animals in the Paddock, plus milking demos, and cute little pigs. All free with admission.
🐴 Mini Horses
🐂 Beef Cattle
🐖 Pigs
🐃 Water Buffalo
🐏Sheep
🐄 Dairy Cattle
🐐 Goats
🦙 Llamas & Alpacas
Midway lights at night!
Everything changes once the sun drops. The wheel, the games, the whole grounds turn into colour. Don't leave before the lights come on.
