Every year, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair welcomes hundreds of volunteers who bring passion, dedication, and heart to the Fairgrounds. Known as our Royal Champions, these incredible individuals help make the experience unforgettable for exhibitors, competitors, and visitors alike. Whether you’re greeting guests, supporting our education programs, assisting behind the scenes in equine or livestock events, or guiding families through interactive exhibits — there’s a place for everyone. Volunteer opportunities across all departments will be posted this summer.
