About Salmon Arm Fair

Welcome to the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds, a versatile venue spanning about 22.8 acres in the heart of Salmon Arm, British Columbia. The grounds are split into North Grounds (home to the SASCU Indoor Memorial Sports Complex) and South Grounds (featuring the Grandstand, horse/show rings, and a midway). Each year, the Salmon Arm Fair & Parade brings communities together, with events like ROOTSandBLUES highlighting the venue’s role as a regional hub. Whether you’re attending a fair, a festival, or a show, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats, plan parking, and find convenient nearby accommodations and dining.

Venue notes: The operation is led by the Shuswap Agricultural Association (SASLAA). Plan your visit with transportation options from BC Transit, including service updates and HandyDART for eligible riders. For drivers, vendor-related parking is available in the Marketplace/Concession area with 3-day parking passes. Nearby hotels offer comfortable stays within a short drive of the fairgrounds, including options like Fairfield Inn & Suites Salmon Arm, SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Salmon Arm Inn, and Best Western Salmon Arm Inn. We’ll point you to official artist pages and venue resources, so you can verify dates and plan your trip with confidence.
