Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show General Manager Ad
Steven Balcomb – President, Norfolk County Agricultural Society [email protected]
We appreciate all applications, but only those who are chosen for interviews will be contacted.
Feeling hungry? Not sure what might tantalize the taste buds? There are approximately 50 food booths that exhibit at the Fair. The number one reason most visitors come to the Fair is Food! Fair food isn’t your typical candy floss, taffy and corn dogs anymore, not that there is anything more tempting but we have come a long way!
Last year CTV Kitchener came to the Fair and visited one of our long standing vendors Laur’s Taffy. See how it’s made. Tasty!

On top of the over 50 food booths we also feature three onsite restaurants.
As we get closer to fair time, we will list the food vendors coming this year, what is new and also some of the menus and what will be offered!
Come Savour the Flavours of Norfolk…literally! We offer an indoor Farmer’s market where over 30 vendors are eager to showcase what Norfolk has to offer. Whether it was peanuts, lavender, pepperoni, cheese, baked goods or garlic, FlavourFest shows there really is something for everyone and every taste. New this year, is “Ask the Farmer” on the Ontario’s Garden Stage. If you have a question, the Farmer has an answer – from how it is growing to how you can cook it, drink it, preserve it!! Another MUST SEE!
Looking forward to seeing you there
