About us

On June 15th, 1901 the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Agricultural Association was formed, and a set of Goals and Objective were developed. The wording has changed slightly over 100 years, but the commitment to promote and educate the public about the importance of agriculture in our daily lives is just as strong now as it was then. In the past six years, the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Agricultural Association has worked hard to develop a National and Provincial award winning, family oriented, and agriculturally educational annual event and is recognized as "one of the best". This event is named "MAPLE RIDGE FAIR" and is held annually in July on the weekend before B.C. Day. This year's dates are July 26th-28th.

The future of the Maple Ridge Fair is extremely promising and exciting, and will continue to serve local residents and the general public. We are committed to the promotion and education of agriculture and to bringing together rural and urban people in an atmosphere of wholesome entertainment and good sportsmanship - for the benefit of all.
