Our country Fair is more than just entertainment. At the VIEx festival, everyone of every age can participate. From displaying jams, jellies and livestock to showing heirloom quilts, artwork, pumpkins, prize flowers, homegrown zucchini, fresh baked cookies and pies there’s no end to the contributions that can be, and are, made by local Vancouver Island families and businesses. Many painstaking but loving hours go into every item and animal on display, with the hopes of encouraging others to learn different crafts and skills; and to especially excite beginners to try new things that can enhance life skills and self-sufficiency. Our Fair – YOUR fair – is a place to come with family and friends, a place to have fun and honour accomplishments.

Entry fees are kept very low, as is the prize money. The intent has never been to make the winners rich by having or making the best, the biggest or the most expensive entry, but to enjoy the variety of talents and efforts put forth by our neighbours and to honour your, and your neighbours, accomplishments.

The VIEx Fair is presented each year by a core group of hard-working volunteers, who donate many hundreds of hours to carefully organize this annual 3-day event. Many community-minded corporate sponsors lend or donate countless services, too numerous to mention. The Fair would like to thank all of these supporters in the community for their efforts, be it financial, material, hard work, time or effort. With your kind generosity, we are excited to welcome you back this year.

We wish all exhibitors the best luck with your entries and extend an invitation to everyone to come to our Fair, view the many animals, exhibits and shows, to relax and just have fun!
