History notes:

Melody Fair was a musical series that ran for several summers between c.1951-56. The first location was a tent at the Dufferin Race Track on the west side of Dufferin just below Bloor Street, now a shopping mall. Another location, perhaps the second, was the Mutual Street Arena, just off Jarvis Street, home of roller skating. The final location was a tent on the Dixie Plaza. There was a different show each week after it had run for a week in Buffalo. The tent featured theatre in the round, with actors running up and down the aisles and occasional scenes or songs from the top walkway which went all the way around the edge.
