Alberni District Fall Fair

The Alberni District Fall Fair is a beloved end-of-summer tradition in Port Alberni, running since 1946 and staged each September at the Fall Fair Grounds on Roger Street. Over four days it brings the Alberni Valley community together for a classic agricultural fair experience: livestock and 4-H displays, home-craft, baking, garden and art competitions, a midway with rides and games provided by a travelling carnival, food vendors, and live entertainment on the main stage. Families come for the animals, the exhibit halls, and the small-town atmosphere, while local growers and makers compete for ribbons across dozens of categories. Organized by the Alberni District Fall Fair Association, it is one of Vancouver Island's longest-running fall fairs and a highlight of the region's autumn calendar. General admission is charged, with discounted rates for youth, seniors and families, and multi-day passes available. The 2026 fair takes place September 10 to 13 at the Fall Fair Grounds on Roger Street. Whether you are entering the pie contest, cheering the livestock shows, or simply enjoying mini-donuts on the midway, the Fall Fair captures the agricultural heritage and community spirit of the Alberni Valley.
