Although the AAS is widely recognized for the Ancaster Fair, many people do not realize that the fairgrounds host numerous tradeshows, festivals, private & community events, and horse and livestock shows year-round. With over 650,000 visitors per year, the facility is without a doubt a fiscal benefit to the region. Agricultural activities remain an important part of the regions economic, cultural, and social fabric.  This is a multi- purpose facility that will provide year -round usage of recreational, entertainment and educational activities for the community, region, the province and across the border.
