The McSpadden County Fair

Founded in 2016, the McSpadden County Fair is an annual, volunteer-run, free community event held each September at McSpadden Park (2125 Victoria Drive) in East Vancouver. This beloved neighbourhood tradition features local artisans, live music, food trucks, community information booths on urban agriculture and sustainable living, and the event’s signature attraction: the legendary East Van Zucchini Races, where participants design and race zucchini vehicles down a ramp in pursuit of glory. 100% funded by the generosity of local businesses and organizations, the Fair is committed to promoting community development, supporting urban agriculture and sustainable living, providing inclusive family-focused activities, and revitalizing county fair traditions while celebrating the diversity of urban living.
