Expo Lachute Fair, the oldest fair in Québec and the second oldest in Canada, once again drew thousands to the Lachute Fairgrounds from Thursday, July 10, to Sunday, July 13.

The 2025 edition of the event marked over 200 years of tradition, welcoming participants from far and wide to experience local agriculture, learn from farmers and producers, win prizes, and try their luck at the games at Midway.

Midway rides kept families entertained between shows with classics, including the Merry-Go-Round, Tilt-a-Whirl, and Bumper Cars.

The family-friendly weekend gave visitors a chance to engage with those who dedicate their lives to feeding the world, explore local vendor offerings, and enjoy numerous agricultural competitions, including modified and antique tractor pulls and horse shows.

Demolition derbies, a monster truck show, The Keepers Wildlife Animals shows, and live music were crowd favourites and offered entertainment for attendees of all ages.
