Fairground Rentals
The Minden Fairgrounds is located at 2048 Fleming Road (Corner of Bobcaygeon and Fleming Road in the Village of Minden) and is home to several large events hosted by the Township and community organizations.
With acres of green space free of trees and on level grass, the Fairgrounds provides a large area to hold outdoor functions close to downtown Minden and its many restaurants, shops and Cultural Centre.
The Fairgrounds are able to support events for hundreds of attendees. A few of the events hosted here include the Haliburton County Fair, the Bluegrass Festival, and Minden's Canada Day Celebrations.
