Nicola Valley Fall Fair
319 Lindley Creek Road V1K1L4 Merritt, BC, Canada

With the BC Government announcing the Province's Four Phase Plan for getting back to a new normal which includes no hosting of conventions or other large gatherings beyond 50 people until there is a vaccine, treatments for Covid-19, or community immunity, we are aware that a decision has to be made regarding postponing the 2020 Nicola Valley Fall Fair until Labour Day weekend 2021. In an effort not to jeopardize the health of our members, volunteers, exhibitors, vendors, fair...goers and general public we feel that postponing the 2020 Nicola Valley Fall Fair until Labour Day weekend 2021 is the right decision at this time. The Nicola Valley Fall Fair has been operating in the Nicola Valley for over 100 years and we will be back in 2021 stronger and better than ever. We would like to thank our community for their continued support and look forward to seeing everyone safely on the other side of this pandemic.
