Coming back from the pandemic has not hurt the Mallorytown Village Fair. Originated in 2010, it lets people step back in time to the simple pleasures of live music throughout the day, a chance for kids to play old fashioned heritage games, adults could enjoy demonstrations of old skills like lace making and spinning. The library had a book sale and plenty of local artisans and vendors were available selling a wide variety of hand made items. A collection of poultry and produce was on display in addition to competitions in baking, floral and crafts. Educational booths had been brought in by Cataraqui Conservation, St. Lawrence Islands National Park, and the Mallorytown Community Development Committee.
