Closer than you think!
The Western Fair sits at 845 Florence Street in London's Old East Village. If you live anywhere in Southwestern Ontario, you are probably about an hour away. Parking is free, the bus is free with your ticket, and there is a hotel waiting if you would rather stay the night.

★ Before You Set Off
A few things worth knowing!
Gates open at 3:00 PM Monday to Friday and 11:00 AM on weekends. Everything closes at 10:00 PM.
Buy in advance and save. Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the gate. Advance pricing runs until 11:59 PM on September 10.
Your ticket works any day. Buy now, pick your day when you arrive.
You can leave and come back. Ask for a hand stamp at the gate, same day only.
Bring a refillable bottle. Free chilled water stations are new for 2026.
Weekday afternoons are the quietest. Perfect if you are bringing little ones.
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
