Fergus Filming

Happy Labour Day long weekend! 🍂 As fall peeks around the corner, we're getting excited for one of our community's most beloved traditions: The Fergus Fall Fair - Fergus Agricultural Society!

To get you in the spirit, a brand new episode of the Elora Fergus Podcast drops TOMORROW, and it's all about the fair. We chatted with the amazing Russell Gammon to talk about 188 years of history... and a celebrity cow named Vanilla. 🐄✨ (Yes, really!)

Set your reminders—you won't want to miss this one!

🌿✨ Explore Templin Gardens in Downtown Fergus

Tucked along the Grand River, Templin Gardens feels like stepping into a storybook. From stone stairways and archways to sweeping river views, it’s one of the most beautiful spots to wander in downtown Fergus.

📸 Whether you’re chasing golden hour light, looking for a quiet walk, or just love discovering scenic escapes—Templin Gardens is the perfect place.

🌅 Last night’s sunset along the Trestle Trail was pure gold. From the Grand River winding below to the old iron bridge standing tall, this spot always feels like stepping into history.

And if you look closely… you’ll even catch the Wellington County Museum peeking above the treeline.

Sometimes the best views are right in our own backyard. 💛

Elora Fergus County of Wellington

🌿✨ Confederation Park, Fergus.

From the wildflowers by the falls to the quiet path under the threes-- every corner of this park feels like a reminder to slow down and take it in.

📍 Centre Wellington at it's finest:

➡️ Purple blooms by the water
➡️ The Grand River waterfall in evening light
➡️ A trail leading you into the forest glow

Sometimes the most breathtaking gateways aren't far away-- they're right here at home.

👉 Save this spot for your next walk!

Would you take the trail or sit by the falls first?

And just like that, another incredible Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games is in the history books! As the final notes of the pipes fade and the memories settle, I wanted to share a few last highlights from a weekend.

Thank you to everyone who made our 80th anniversary so special—from the dedicated organizers and volunteers to the passionate musicians, dancers, and athletes.

Your spirit and energy brought the 80th celebration in Fergus to life!

We can’t wait to see you all again next year! Slàinte mhath!

Saturday at the 80th Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games was one for the history books! Swipe through for some incredible highlights from an action-packed day.

The heavy events had us on the edge of our seats, including the athlete who bravely turned the seemingly "Unturnable Caber"!

We also got to hang out with the amazing Charles Vandervaart from Outlander, who was a huge hit with fans. And the night concluded with an epic concert lineup that had the entire field rocking with Red Hot Chili Pipers, Albannach and Bay City Rollers.

What a day, what a festival!
