Knox Fall Fair

The Knox Fall Fair returns to Parksville on September 12, 2026, operating with a modified format and a condensed schedule. Held at Knox United Church, the event runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and serves as a fundraiser to help the church respond to various local requirements. Due to the high number of volunteers needed for larger gatherings, the organizers have transitioned to a model of two smaller annual events, with a spring fair planned for the following June.

Visitors can browse a wide selection of donated goods, including men's, women's, and children's clothing, jewelry, accessories, and household linens. The fair also features seasonal decorations for Christmas and Halloween, craft supplies such as yarn and fabric, and a home-baking table. A concession stand is available on-site for attendees during the event hours.

The fair relies on community donations of clean, gently used items, which are typically collected in the days leading up to the sale. Specific guidelines are maintained for these contributions to ensure they are manageable for volunteers and suitable for resale. The event generally excludes heavy furniture, old electronics, books, and certain personal items.
