The Fort Malden Medieval Faire is returning to the waterfront in Amherstburg, Ontario, from June 12 to 14, 2026. Hosted at the Fort Malden National Historic Site, the event will feature historical reenactments, themed vendors, and activities for families.

This annual festival transforms the local grounds into a medieval attraction designed to bring more visitors to the community. Managed by Parks Canada, the site uses these programs to help residents and tourists engage with history along the Detroit River.

The fair is a key part of the early summer season for the Town of Amherstburg, offering a mix of period-themed entertainment and demonstrations. It aims to support local tourism by making use of the historic military buildings and barracks located on the property.

Shortly after the festival ends, the historic site will also participate in the Canada Strong Pass program. This initiative will provide free admission to the fort for all visitors from June 19 to September 7, 2026.
