The GrandWay Event Centre (EloraFergus)


Creating an Experience for All

Located in Elora, Ontario, just on the edge of the village, The GrandWay Event Centre is home to several versatile spaces that can accommodate a wide range of events. The 53 acre grounds are also home to the Grand River Raceway.

No matter what type of event you’re planning, our Events & Experiences Team works with you every step of the way to bring your vision to life. We offer numerous indoor and outdoor venues, in-house catering, unique amenities like live horse racing, and lastly have an on-site casino.

The GrandWay is owned and operated by the Grand River Agricultural Society (GRAS), a not-for-profit corporation, incorporated under the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies Act of Ontario.

Turn a good time into a ‘Grand’ time.

We live and breathe entertainment. It’s who we are and creating memories is what we do. With endless events and amenities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re spending a summer night at the Raceway, trying your luck at the on-site casino, or attending one of our many events – no matter what your idea of a good time is, you’ll find it at The GrandWay.


First awarded in 2019 as a Great Place to Work, and then later recognized on the 2020 list of Best Workplaces™ in Retail and Hospitality,  the organization is thrilled that they continued to receive incredibly positive feedback about employment at GRAS and Grand River Raceway.
