Best Highland Games in Ontario

A great venue for the North American Pipe Band Championships​.Plenty of parking and camping space for trailers and cars. Easy to find !

Maxville highland games is always an excellent time.

We drove to the fair from Montreal. The short woman with short hair at the entrance was very rude to us and very sternly said No dogs! Leave!". We were unaware and had our small dog in a bunting bag. We have never experienced such inappropriate and unprofessional customer service. Unacceptable. I will not recommend going back as long as she is working there. No where was it indicated that no dogs were allowed."

Wow this was really nice all those doggies competing. Proud of Meeshy and his companion Yvonne.

No where does it say you cannot bring your dogs there. Well today when I was there with my cousin and our dogs, some elderly man in a white truck came up to us and rudely told us that this was our last warning (no ones ever spoken to us before), to not bring our dogs back and to leave now. I said “there are no signs anywhere saying no dogs”, he then proceeded to get angry with me and I’m a small girl so we just dropped it and left. Signs should be put up if dogs are an issue at the fair grounds as I see this isn’t the first incident like this on these reviews.
