MARMORA FALL FAIR
This event signifies the end of summer for many people and is always held on Labour Day weekend. It starts on Saturday and carries through Monday. It is organized by the Marmora Agricultural Society and has been a tradition of the area for over 100 years.
The outdoors will have rides, a midway, games and loads of scrumptious food. The smell of fried onions can make many people give up the diet for the day. Some events are fun to watch like the horse pull, the "little fiddle" contest, the demolition derby and the car show.

MARMORA COUNTRY MUSIC JAMBOREE
Buck Warren and the Crowe Valley Lions Club gave birth to the Jamboree in the fall of 2002. It is held at the fairgrounds on the 2nd weekend of September and has grown phenomenally from its conception. There are 3 days of country music. Camping is available on the fairground site where the private jam sessions are as much fun as the entertainment on stage. The price for the weekend has always been so affordable and the Jamboree Circuit is now part of country life. For those who cannot get space at the fairgrounds, the area has many camp grounds available. Bus service to outside parks allows easy access to the events. Visit: www.marmorajamboree.com |
