Beer and cider coming to the Saanich Fair this year

It’s hard to pin down what events we’re most excited about this coming summer, but one of the highlights will definitely be the Saanich Fair.

The Saanich Fair is one of the largest and oldest agricultural events on Vancouver Island, and for the first time in its 156 year history, the fair will be offering a small selection of beer and cider.

Since its inception in 1868, the fair has transformed from a friendly farmer get together to a jam-packed event space featuring carnival rides, agricultural competitions and more than 4,000 vendors and animals on display.
