Nicola Valley Fall Fair

Nicola Valley Fall Fair The Nicola Valley Fall Fair is always held on the Labour Day weekend in September. Our annual Fall Fair will be held on the Labour Day Weekend, Sept 3-4.

Volunteers are always welcome. Be sure to check out all the Exhibits. Be sure to check out our Giant Yard Sales from May to mid-August. We have three more yard sales to come for 2022 - July 23, August 6 & 7 and 20. & 21. We are fundraising through these yard sales to build a washroom building beside the exhibition building. We are thankful for the donations of goods from the citizens of Merritt and for the many shopper who show up and buy our treasures. We hope to have shovels in the ground this fall.
