The Showmen
SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT OF A NEW ONTARIO-MADE DOC! Every year, World's Finest Shows rolls into communities across Ontario — including right here at the Kingston Fall Fair — over 50 times a season. But what really goes into making that happen? Ontario filmmaker Daryl Granger spent an entire year finding out, embedding himself with the Jamieson family and their crew from January through to teardown, capturing the permits, the logistics, and the moment a quiet lot transforms into a blazing midway. The Showmen traces carnival culture all the way back to 1893, pulling back the curtain on the real costs and hard labour behind the magic. This is a rare chance to see the familiar faces behind a beloved local tradition — and the extraordinary work they do every September right here in Kingston!DocumentaryPT2H12MNot Rated2026-05-09The World’s Finest Shows team
