Thursday August 11th Highlights

Demolition Derby

The Demolition Derby has always been a crowd favorite here at the Navan Fair. Whats not to like? The sound of engines at full throttle as they take aim at their next victim, the hissing of steam as radiators get punctured, the sight of a car crushed like a pop can still running even if it only on two wheels. It’s fabulous entertainment for the entire family!

This year again sees us with two divisions competing at the fair. On Thursday August 11th at 7pm we have the four cylinder vehicles taking to the track.  Want to see the big boys go at it? The big eight cylinder cars go at it the very next night on Friday August 12th, again at 7pm.

Mechanical Bull Riding Contest!

The Mechanical bull riding competition is back! One of the great events from last years fair is making a return appearance. Come on out and cheer for your favorite cowboys and cowgirls as they take on the meanest bull around! Do you have what it takes to stay on? This will be a fabulous night of entertainment as teams of riders go head to head to see who gets bragging rights, and then we will open it up so that everyone gets a shot at taming this wild beast! While the bull riding is going on there will also be live entertainment by the awesome party band “Conterfit.”

Friday August 12th Highlights

As one of the most popular bands of it time, April Wine continues to deliver an incredible live show. Come and join us for what promises to be a night to remember under the domes.

About the band

It all began in Nova Scotia late in 1969. The Henman brothers, David and Ritchie, got together with their cousin Jim Henman and fellow musician Myles Goodwyn to form a band called April Wine, a name chosen simply because they were two words that sounded good together. Fifteen studio albums, three live releases, numerous compilations, a boxed set and thousands of concerts later April Wine has become enormously popular in Canada, the United States and throughout the world.

In March of 2009, April Wine was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame during Canadian Music Week in Toronto. They also received The Lifetime Achievement Award for being part of Canadian Music History for 40 years.

Saturday August 13th Highlights

Canadian rockers Honeymoon Suite grace the stage on what promises to be a fabulous night of rock!

About the band

Johnnie Dee formed the first incarnation of Honeymoon Suite in Toronto in 1981, with original drummer Mike Lengyell, and established the nucleus of the band.

Propelled by the success of several hit singles, 1985 saw the band begin to headline gigs throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada. A highlight was the presentation of an award at the 1985 Junos. By this time the first album had achieved platinum sales status. Almost 22 years later the album has now sold close to 400,000 units in Canada alone.

Sunday August 14th Highlights

Join us for an afternoon of music when country performers High Valley take the stage.

About the band

When it comes to illuminating simple truths and tapping into universal emotions, there’s nothing like a great song and country music has long been known for its rich legacy of powerful story songs. When a great collection of songs merges with a band of gifted communicators, the impact is considerable. It’s that one-two punch of powerful songs and potent performances that makes High Valley one of the most impressive new acts on today’s competitive country scene.
