About the Royal:
The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) is a 10-day long event, starting November 2nd, 2012. “The Royal” began as the largest and most prestigious agricultural exposition in North America. It has since evolved into a multi-faceted event with four primary focuses, touching Canadian and international communities: competition, entertainment, commerce and education. The Royal also maintains a strong focus on “farm to fork” and agricultural sustainability. More than 300,000 visitors are welcomed annually, and with The Royal celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2012, this year’s Fair will be a massive party reaching all corners of Toronto and Canada.
