58th Annual Nechako Valley Exhibition
August 7-9, 2026
The Nechako Valley Exhibition Society was formed in 1965 under the name ‘Vanderhoof Fall Fair Association’ and provincially incorporated as a non-profit organization several years later. Our annual Exhibition (Fall Fair) continues to deliver three days of community celebration at the society owned and operated 42-acre Exhibition Grounds on Northside Road in Vanderhoof, BC. The 58th Annual Nechako Valley Exhibition will be held August 7-9th, 2026. A true agricultural Fair, we showcase regional agricultural producers, celebrate the achievements of our thriving 4-H clubs, provide a venue for friendly competition, and pack in a whole lot of fun along the way!
