We can't wait to see everyone there tomorrow - we'll be selling 50/50 tickets and we'll have a few giveaways too!
Thank you to Cowichan Exhibition for the generous support
Here are some tips for tomorrow's (August 8th) RCMP Musical Ride Show!
😎 Stay cool and hydrated – bring a water bottle
🌞 Wear a hat and sunscreen
❌ No umbrellas
❌ No dogs are allowed on the fairgrounds except for dogs participating in the show or service dogs. Service dogs will be allowed with proper credentials.

The entire facility is sand and gravel. There is a 10-foot safety area around the musical ride ring - you will not be allowed to stand or sit near the delineated area. This is due to the sensitivity of the RCMP horses. Thank you for understanding.

Gates open at 3 pm. There is a pre-show at 4 pm with the RCMP Musical Ride starting at 5 pm.
❇️Seating: Bleacher and Bench seating is first come, first served – if you prefer a lawn chair, please feel free to bring one, but space is limited.

Need to run back to your car once your ticket has been scanned? Make sure to get a wristband from our volunteers at the ticket gate.

Parking will be in the lower lot, where the midway is located during the fair. There will be a parking team on hand to direct people on where to park. There is an accessible Parking area.
