ANTIQUE FARM SHOW WEEKEND
& TRACTOR PULL!
August 8–10, 2025
1770 Haldimand County Rd 17, Cayuga, Ontario (The Wheatley Farm)
Step back in time and experience rural life's pride, power, and community spirit at the Grand River Antique Society’s signature annual event. Held every August on the beautiful grounds of The Wheatley Farm in Cayuga, Ontario, this event celebrates agricultural heritage and offers something for every family generation to enjoy.
About
the Event
The Antique Farm Show Weekend brings together antique machinery enthusiasts, local families, and community members across Haldimand County and beyond.
What you’ll experience:
Dozens of antique tractors, vintage farm equipment, and working historical displays
Live demonstrations of traditional farming methods and mechanical tools
Exhibits celebrating rural craftsmanship, history, and innovation
A wide range of food vendors, artisans, and community exhibitors
A welcoming, family-focused atmosphere for all ages
This event isn’t just about looking at old machines — it’s about bringing people together, sharing stories, and passing on knowledge to future generations in a hands-on, engaging environment.
Tractor Pulls
A main attraction for visitors young and old, our tractor pulls showcase both the raw power and careful restoration of these historic machines.
Lawn and Garden Tractor Pulls
These small-scale pulls are packed with big excitement. Whether you’re a young competitor or a curious spectator, these events are a fun and friendly way to experience the pulling action.
Antique Tractor Pulls
Featuring carefully restored vintage tractors, these pulls celebrate the strength, engineering, and legacy of generations past. The sounds and sights of these machines in motion offer a memorable experience for all.
Both events are designed to be accessible and exciting for families — so bring your camera, your kids, and your love of old iron.
Antique Display:
A Walk Through Ontario’s Farming Past
Step into a living museum with our Antique Display—an open-air showcase of beautifully restored tractors, tools, and farm machinery. Stroll among the exhibits, get up close with hands-on displays, and experience the craftsmanship and ingenuity that shaped rural Ontario.
From horse-drawn plows to classic iron workhorses, each piece tells a story of the land, the people, and the legacy of hard work that built our communities. It’s more than a display—it’s history you can touch.
