Organisers of both events shared the sad news on the weekend.
The Dungowan fair, scheduled for the weekend of October 15, was to be the first for the small town in three years.
Promotion manager Ron Haling announced the news on Sunday "with great sadness," telling the Leader the event would be rescheduled for 2023.
It was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of COVID-19 and has been canned a third time "as a result of the heavy rain and the forecast of more in the following week," he said.
