Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Ancaster Fairgrounds

630 Trinity Road South

Jerseyville, Ontario L0R 1R0

The fairgrounds are approximately 20 km (12 miles) southwest of Hamilton, making it an easy day trip for regional visitors. Set amid open fields, the venue offers a relaxed, spacious setting for festivals, fairs, and concerts.

• Parking: On-site parking is available and typically free or included with admission. Lots are spacious and designed to handle large crowds during major events.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; most attendees arrive by car.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: While designated zones aren’t officially listed, rideshare services can access the main entrance area for convenient pickup and dropoff.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before major events like the demolition derby, concerts, or the daily fair opening. Early arrival eases traffic, gives you better parking options, and helps you get settled before the crowds build.

Many events are outdoors. Check the forecast and dress for the weather—bring layers, sunscreen, hats, or rain gear as needed. The grounds are mostly flat and expansive, so comfortable walking shoes make the day easier, especially if you’re exploring exhibits, barns, and vendors spread across the site.

Because public transit is limited, build in a few extra minutes for driving and parking. If you’re using rideshare, plan a clear meeting spot near the main entrance for a quicker exit after the show.

Venue Navigation

The fairgrounds’ layout combines indoor exhibition halls, livestock barns, show rings, and open-air spaces connected by wide, walkable paths. Most areas are at ground level or accessible via ramps, making it straightforward to move between features during fairs, competitions, and concerts.

You’ll find multiple concession stands and food vendors during major events, plus merchandise booths and ATMs on-site. Restrooms are distributed around key activity zones and the halls—scan event maps on arrival to pinpoint the closest options to your seats or preferred attractions.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Varies by event; check event-specific guidelines for details.
• Prohibited Items: Outside alcohol, weapons, and illegal substances are typically prohibited.
• Re-entry Policy: Varies by event; at fairs, re-entry is typically allowed with a hand stamp or valid ticket.
• Service Animals: Permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress for the weather—many events are outdoors, and shade may be limited.
• Wear comfortable shoes and plan for walking between halls, barns, and stages.
• If attending a demolition derby or main stage event, consider arriving early for preferred grandstand seating.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re heading to the annual fair or a full-day festival, map out your must-see attractions first—whether that’s the livestock barns, show rings, or a particular concert set—so you can pace your day. Many visitors plan meals around the food vendors, leaving time to sample local specialties like fair treats between activities.

Sunset over the open fields can be beautiful, especially on concert nights or late fair sessions, so time your break to catch golden hour before the headliner. For group outings, pick a clear meeting point like a main entrance sign or a landmark exhibition hall—cell service can be spotty during large events, and the grounds cover a lot of territory.

Driving in from Hamilton or surrounding communities? Factor in traffic near gate openings and give yourself extra time if you’re aiming for grandstand seating or a specific reserved area. With Ancaster Fairgrounds upcoming events covering everything from derbies to trade shows, a little planning goes a long way.

Accessibility

Ancaster Fairgrounds is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking close to main entrances, ground-level access in most areas, ramp access where needed, and designated accessible seating for main events like grandstand shows. Wide pathways and flexible layouts help guests navigate exhibits, vendors, and viewing areas with ease.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and beverages from multiple food vendors during fairs and major events. Expect local favorites and fair classics—think funnel cakes, poutine, and seasonal items—alongside quick bites that make it easy to refuel between shows and exhibits.
