Come one, come all, and experience the timelessness of tradition!

Welcome to the Salmon Arm Fair, a timeless tradition that has been bringing joy and excitement to the Shuswap community since 1897. Our fair is all about fun, family, and celebrating our agricultural roots in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Mark your calendars for August 23-25, 2024, and get ready to create new memories and cherish old ones!

The Salmon Arm Fair is proud to be a part of the enduring community tradition of providing a quality family fair, and we are grateful for the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

The parade takes place on Saturday at 9:00 am, and we invite you to join us in this beloved tradition.
