The Paris Fair, now in its 167th year, is a true celebration of tradition, community, and togetherness — and at its heart, it’s all about family. Whether you're singing along at the grandstand, watching a milking demonstration, exploring the Ag Awareness barn, or sharing cotton candy on the midway, the Fair is a place where generations come together to make memories.

Happening August 28 to September 1, 2025, the Fair features a full midway, top-tier live entertainment, agricultural competitions, food trucks, and family-friendly activities.

This year also celebrates 50 years of Campbell Amusements, who have helped bring joy, lights, and laughter to countless families through the decades.

Saturday, August 30 – Hunter Brothers
Sunday, August 31 – The Reklaws

Bringing their signature harmonies and electric live energy, Hunter Brothers will kick off the weekend with hits like Born and Raised, Lost, and Those Were the Nights. Known for their close-knit connection and magnetic stage presence, the five brothers from Saskatchewan embody the spirit of family and small-town pride.

On Sunday, sibling duo The Reklaws—Jenna and Stuart Walker—take over with their steady stream of platinum and double platinum-certified party anthems, including their brand new single “Never Drinking Again.” With 4 #1s at Canadian country radio, 8 JUNO nominations, 9 CCMA Awards, and over 315 million global streams, The Reklaws bring a powerhouse performance to every stage they stand on.

The Paris Fair is all about family – and this year, we invite yours to be part of the fun

Hamilton Children’s Museum will be popping up at Dundurn National Historic Site in the Historic Kitchen Garden. Bring your young family and friends for free nature-based activities in “Sophia’s Garden”, a child-focused interactive space. This area of the garden was inspired by excerpts from The Diary of Sophia MacNab, as Sophia describes playing in the kitchen garden and growing a small plot of fruits and vegetables with her younger sister. This new garden features plants selected to inspire kids to touch, smell and interact with nature. Join Hamilton Children’s Museum staff to explore plants, animals, insects and engage in hands-on activities.
