The fairgrounds at the Luxton Fall Fair host the roller coaster and other adrenalin-rush midway rides.
Each year there is also a display of winning produce, artwork and crafts.
In 2024, the Luxton Fall Fair is celebrating 113 years of Fall Fairs in the Western Communities, on the fairgrounds site at 1040 Marwood Avenue in Langford.
Lower attendance:
This year’s attendance was not as strong as in previous years. The weather was cool, and this last weekend of September was a later than usual time slot (dependent on availability of the midway rides).
As well, with the current provincial election going on many people are out at events and door-knocking. Or perhaps this was a camping weekend at summer’s end. Last weekend there was a big turnout for
The Langford Station event with live entertainment and many food trucks which may have maxed-out the party-going mood of Langford locals.
Rides and agricultural displays:
There were midway rides and games, activities like milling Grain into Flour, displays of blacksmithing and Antique Farm Equipment, a large operational miniature Trains display, and apple cider making.
There were museum displays of the west shore’s history, local artisan booths, and information booths hosted by political candidates and some local non-profits.
The midway rides were open on Friday night, and the full fair was open for the September 27 & 29 weekend, from noon to later in the evening.
The 4H Club had a festive award event on Saturday evening, to recognize the top winners of produce, baked goods, flowers, artwork and other items that were on display.
