The inaugural Drayton Farm Show was held in 1981, but a few years were missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Proceeds from this year's show will be distributed to Cystic Fibrosis Canada and community projects such as the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation MRI+ Campaign.

The show runs April 10 (Wednesday) until 10pm and on April 11 (Thursday) from 11am to 9pm.
