About Exhibition Center Kingston Memorial Centre
The Kingston Memorial Centre is a 3,300-seat multi-purpose arena located at 303 York Street in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1951, the Kingston Community Memorial Health and Recreation Centre was designed as a community sports and entertainment centre that would become a “living memorial” to the Kingstonians who gave their lives in both World Wars and the Korean War.
Autumn Fair
The Kingston Memorial Centre is the site of the annual Kingston Fall Fair, run by the Kingston and District Agricultural Society. Established in Kingston in 1830 as the Midland Fair and revived in 1912, the Kingston Fall Fair is held over four days each September. It is the second oldest fair in Ontario with over 16,000 visitors. The Society sponsors the fair with the aim of promoting education through agriculture. The fair includes the largest dairy show in Ontario.
