2025 Schedule of Ontario Rabbit Shows
Below is a listing of upcoming shows in Ontario as well as our neighbouring province of Quebec. This list will be updated as shows are announced.
Rabbit shows in Ontario are held under one of two organizations: The American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) which is an international organization that has shows across the world, and the Dominion Rabbit and Cavy Breeders Association (DRCBA) which is a Canadian organization that puts on shows in Ontario. You do not have to be a member of any of the above organizations in order to participate in the shows. Simply contact the show secretary to register your entries. Rabbits are not required to be pedigreed or registered in order to participate. They simply need to meet the physical requirements of the breed which they are entered as in the show. Both ARBA and DRCBA have their own rule books and breed standards (much but not all of the breed standards overlap). All shows are open to public visitors.
ARBA shows in Ontario are hosted either by an ARBA sanctioned club, or a fair with an ARBA sanction.
The current ARBA sanctioned clubs in Ontario are:
• CORBC: Central Ontario Rabbit Breeders Club, located in the Durham region (new club, will be hosting shows in the Durham and Kawartha regions)
• EORFC: Eastern Ontario Rabbit Fanciers Club: located in the Ottawa region, hosts the Spencerville show
• FCRBC: Forest City Rabbit Breeders Club, located in the London region, hosts the Komoka show
• KWRBC: Kitchener Waterloo Rabbit Breeders Club, located in the Hamilton and Guelph regions, hosts the Burford show
• SORBA: Southern Ontario Rabbit Breeders Association, located in the Hamilton region, hosts the Rockton show
The current Ontario fairs which hold ARBA sanctioned shows are:
• Brooklyn Fair, held on the first weekend of June
• Millbrook Fair, held on the 2nd weekend of June
