The Beachburg Agricultural Society is proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone this year as the community celebrates the 170th anniversary of the Beachburg Fair.

Read more →The Beachburg Fair has been a staple in the community since 1857. An annual celebration for friends, family, and community members to look forward to after long winters and wet springs. It's an excuse to visit, reminisce, and let loose. And it still belongs to the people who built it.
The fair is run by the Beachburg Agricultural Society (BAS), a volunteer board of directors made up of farmers, parents, teachers, and tradespeople. The board gives hundreds of hours of their time to make these four magical days happen every year.
For 2026, the Society introduced an all-inclusive admission to the fair. One ticket, one price — midway rides, live music, modified truck and tractor pull, and the demolition derby all included. The fair belongs to everybody in the Ottawa Valley, and the gate price ought to feel that way too.
"Reaching 170 years is something truly special. The Beachburg Fair exists because of the incredible support from our community, and the legacy dedication of past directors." Brenna Jansen, President, Beachburg Agricultural Society
