Launched in 1946, the Navan Fair is one of Ottawa's longest‑running rural celebrations, featuring agricultural exhibits, animals, tractor displays, a demolition derby, live music, food, and more. Each August, thousands gather to experience this classic country fair atmosphere — and the Domes have become a major draw for nighttime entertainment.
On Saturday, August 8th, the Domes roar to life with The Road Hammers. Formed in 2004 by CCMA Hall of Famer Jason McCoy, and rounded out by the powerhouse talents of Clayton Bellamy and Chris Byrne, The Road Hammers have blazed a trail as Canada's most celebrated country-rock trio. Known for their explosive fusion of gritty outlaw, classic country, and Southern rock, the band has earned a loyal following with their raw sound and full-throttle live shows. With over 60 million career streams, 11 million YouTube views, and an arsenal of accolades, including multiple CCMA Awards, a JUNO Award, and gold and platinum certifications, The Road Hammers have carved out a legendary lane all their own.
The night opens with The Vanduras, taking the stage at 9:00 pm to kick things off.
