upgrading and improving its facilities and amenities
offered to its customers, the citizens of London and
area.

for Western Fair to host many new events that will
create jobs, attract more tourists and visitors to
Western Fair and London, which will in turn generate
incremental revenues for the City and Western Fair.
- Not only is London is in the centre of Horse Country, it is also in the centre of the
richest agriculture land in Canada. Middlesex County
produces more agricultural products than some entire
provinces of Canada! Therefore Western Fair is committed
to educating people about agriculture and showcasing
the proud and historic farming community which surrounds
it.

serve shows which draw international participants
as exhibitors and/or buyers. Western Fair's proximity
to major highways and full-service hotels make the
Agriplex most convenient for business.
