Happy Days ahead as Western Fair Returns This September   

London, Ontario, May 11, 2022:  Western Fair Association is excited to announce today that the annual Western Fair, its award-winning signature event, will return this fall, September 9-18, 2022, after two years of cancellations due to COVID-19. Early details are available on the Fair’s website this morning, westernfair.ca, with many more to be added this summer.   

The Fair’s website highlights its new 2022 marketing campaign – “Happy Days” – “an ode to what many of us are feeling in the event industry after two years of shut-downs and restrictions” said WFA, CEO, Reg Ash. Early Fair information includes a comprehensive list of competitions including best-in-class art, photography, crafts, and culinary, to name a few. New sponsorship opportunities for local businesses to support the annual fair’s return; an early call for fair food vendors, exhibitors, and people interested in one of the many fun roles required to operate the 10-day event in September; and 2022 ticket prices and gate promotions.   

Fair fans can take advantage of a $10 Early Bird Admission special, available until June 1st.  Advance Super Passes go on sale today - $40 (ride-all-day bracelet + fair admission).  Corporate group sale packages are also available for businesses that want to offer value pricing for their employees, as well as private groups of 15 or more.   

“We want everyone to have the opportunity to be happy and enjoy a day at the Fair in 2022, we all deserve that,” said Ash.  “WFA is pleased to launch Kids 10 & under, and Seniors 70+ are FREE at Western Fair… and we are holding our 2019 gate admission price of $15 for 2022, to keep the fair affordable, at a time when everything costs more.”    

The Fair’s event team are happy to be back working on the fall classic and are looking forward to seeing traditional fair fans again, and welcoming new ones.  In the coming months watch for attraction and entertainment updates, Entry Office opening, fair food announcements and fun highlights to get everyone excited for Happy Days this September.
