Embrace the Harvest Season!
COMMUNITY NOTICE: NO 2024 FALL FAIR
Wildsight Elk Valley will not be hosting our annual Fall Fair this year. While this beloved event will be missed, we hope to bring it back in the future. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore other wonderful fall events nearby, such as the Fernie Chautauqua Festival on September 7-8, and the Jaffray Fall Fair on September 20-22.
Instead of our traditional Fall Fair, we are excited to invite you to our Harvest Feast on September 12th at 6 PM. This special event will be held at the Community EcoGarden in Prentice Park. The Harvest Feast will be a picnic-style potluck open to everyone in the community. Please stay tuned for more details.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
The Fernie Fall Fair is a grassroots public event that encourages people to bridge rural and urban living through enjoying locally grown food.
It is our goal to showcase healthy, farmstead living and promote the importance and achievability of sustainable food production in the Elk Valley.
Get your taste buds ready for the Blue Ribbon competitions — pies, cakes, preserves, and bread bragging rights will be contested for.
Fernie’s favorite Sunday event, the Fernie Mountain Market, and its amazing vendors will be providing the best of the harvest for you to take home!
Join us for the Fernie Fall Fair at Rotary Park (6th A Ave) where all sorts of fun will be happening from 10am-2pm on September 10th, 2023.
