Sooke Fall Fair was first held in 1913. The Fair is held yearly usually on the second weekend of September.
The Fair is held at the Sooke Community Hall, Shields Road across from Mom’s Cafe. Some exhibits are also across the street at the Sooke branch of the Canadian Legion.
In 2016 the first Sooke Car Show was held at the Sooke Flats.
The Sooke Fall Fair is a community fair that gives people an opportunity to congregate in the spirit of the “Rural Fair” philosophy. The philosophy embodies:
Pride in local natural resources
Pride and focus on individual and family endeavours
The integration of young and elderly, able and disabled, participator and spectator.
The spirit of volunteerism in which our community has long prided itself.
The Sooke Fall Fair, in this traditional annual event is a reflection of Sooke’s strong community spirit.
