Organizers have been busy all summer, preparing for the Western Fair’s return, along with The Barn and its agricultural displays. Rides, food, entertaining attractions, and concerts are a big part of a fantastic and memorable day at the Western Fair, but if you have not visited our agriculture area, and our educational farm animal displays…you must this year!

Day of Dreams presented by Peter Inch & Associates returns to Western Fair on September 13th for children with special needs, and their families. The day is an annual event, with a tailored environment that makes the busy bustle of a traditional day at the fair a more manageable sensory experience.      

If You’re HAPPY and you know it, clap your hands for FREE Family Attractions.

Today Western Fair announced its 2023 Attractions and Entertainment line-up! Happy Days are here again with music, entertainment, animals, and attractions set to provide smiles, laughter, and memorable interactive fun for the whole family this September.

Thunder Queens are Violet Bruneel (top, guitar, vocals) Lola Hayman (right, drums, vocals) and Clara Magnan (left, bass, vocals). They have been making sludgy feminist-driven songs since they were 9 & 10 years old, tearing up London, Ontario stages with music reminiscent of bands like Sleater Kinney, Sheer Mag, The Strokes & Starcrawler. Lola Hayman (drums, vocals) & Violet Bruneel (guitar, vocals) became friends while searching for loonies under the pinball machines at Call The Office.

Burton’s voice has been rated among the finest in rock music. He has amassed more hit records than almost any performer in Canadian history. As lead singer and songwriter with the Guess Who, Burton recorded hits “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “American Woman,” “Share The Land,” “Hang On To Your Life,” “Clap For The Wolfman,” and many more. As a solo artist, he leaves his mark with “Stand Tall,” “I’m Scared,” “Dream of a Child,” “You Saved My Soul,” “I Will Play a Rhapsody,” and “Timeless Love,” among many other much-loved tunes. 

The Trans-Canada Highwaymen are Moe Berg (TPOH), Chris Murphy (SLOAN), Craig Northey (Odds) and Steven Page (Ex-BNL) and they are going on tour to perform their hit songs and share road stories of the mixed bag of excitement, dread, inspiration, emotional torture and unconditional support that is being a band.

JUNO Award Winners for Breakthrough Artist (2018) and Rock Album of the Year (2022)

Captivating the indie scene with rich 80s-tinted melodies and quick-witted lyrics, The Beaches have unleashed their neighbourhood namesake group onto the music world with Eliza Enman-McDaniel (on drums) and Leandra Earl (on keys and guitar) and sisters Jordan and Kylie Miller (on lead vocals/bass and guitar, respectively). They've been named one of Canada's greatest acts by Exclaim magazine, and the proof is in the plays with 6 no. 1 singles on Canadian Alt Radio and their single "Grow Up Tomorrow” at #1 on Alternative & Rock radio in Canada for seven weeks.
