Ever wonder what's going on in the beautiful Oceanside Area? Well we've put together the answer for you! This calendar is carefully updated with many of the interesting events going on in our community that help give Parksville and Qualicum Beach their charm.

Coombs Fair August 9th, 2008 - August 10th, 2008 Coombs Fair - August 09, & 10, 2008 First held in 1913, the Coombs Fair has been celebrating agriculture in Oceanside for over 90 years! Come check us out and join in the excitement of our annual community fair. The fair features animals barns, domestic science, horticulture and art displays, and more. Enjoy our music stage, relax with homemade pie and tea, or grab a burger from our concession. We're on Ford Road in Coombs, turn at the General Store. The fair is open 8am-6pm Saturday, 8am-5pm Sunday. As the first fair of the season and one of the largest 4-H shows on Vancouver Island, our fair is often the first opportunity for many 4-H members to display their projects and sharpen their skills before entering other fairs. Wander through our animal barns, learn about 4-H skills, pet the bunnies, chickens, and more. Special events unique to our fair include a wacky gardening hat contest, chicken and duck races. Check out fair exhibitions, including domestic science, horticulture, floral, arts & crafts displays, and more. Start your day at the fair with our Pancake Breakfast. Breakfast is served from 8-11 am both Saturday and Sunday, and is so good, some come to the fair just for the pancakes! Includes sausage or bacon. Join us for the Bingo Tent, all day Saturday & Sunday, or the SPCA Pet Parade, Sunday at 11:00 am, or the Ladies' Nail Driving Contest, Sunday at 3:00 pm. Rest a while at our music stage, with all-day entertainment provided by a variety of talented musicians, while you enjoy a slice of homemade pie and a good cup of tea at the Lionness Ladies Tea House, or grab a burger from our concession. You'll find us on Ford Road in downtown Coombs, turn at the Coombs General Store, one block east of the Old Country Market. The fair is open 8am-6pm on Saturday and 8am-5pm on Sunday.
