Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the decision to cancel the 2021 fair was made using all the information currently available through government orders and public health advice. The health and safety of our volunteers, visitors, vendors and the community is our primary concern.

For 164 years, the Sutton Fair and Horse Show has been an annual tradition in our community, and we look forward to continuing that tradition for many years to come. We will be back to celebrate the 165th Sutton Fair & Horse Show on August 5, 6, 7 & 8, 2022, and we are working hard to plan a fair where we can all celebrate together safely.

We want to thank everyone for their continued support. Stay safe and see you in 2022!

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

Sutton Agricultural Society
