About the Norfolk County Agricultural Society

The Norfolk County Agricultural Society (NCAS) has been at the heart of the community since 1840. As a nonprofit organization, we exist to promote agriculture, celebrate rural traditions, and create meaningful experiences that connect people across Norfolk County and beyond.

Best known as the organizers of the Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show and Eat & Drink Norfolk, NCAS is proud to host events that showcase the very best of our region — from homegrown food and live music to agricultural excellence and community spirit.

In 2024, both the Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show and Eat & Drink Norfolk were honoured among the Top 100 Events in Ontario by Festivals & Events Ontario, a reflection of our deep roots and evolving impact.

What We Do:

  • Organize signature events that draw over 115,000 visitors annually

  • Support local agriculture, artisans, and small businesses

  • Provide platforms for youth education, heritage awareness, and community celebration

  • Host year-round programming and rentals at the fairgrounds in Simcoe, Ontario

Our Flagship Event:

The Norfolk County Fair & Horse Show, held each October, is one of Ontario’s largest agricultural fairs — featuring livestock and equine competitions, motorsports, major concerts, local exhibits, and a full midway. It’s a seven-day celebration of all things Norfolk.

But we’re more than just one fair.

NCAS is a year-round organization, powered by volunteers and grounded in community values — committed to delivering events, programs, and opportunities that reflect the people and spirit of Norfolk County.

Rooted in agriculture. Driven by community. Powered by volunteers.

STRATEGIC PLAN

In 2019 the Norfolk County Agricultural Society Board of Directors approved a new STRATEGIC PLAN to lead our programs, services and facilities into the future.
