The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is an 18-day fair taking place every August concluding on Labour Day. Over its 129 year history, the CNE has grown to be the largest annual fair in Canada and the fifth largest in North America attracting approximately 1.25 million visitors each year.

The programs and exhibits of the CNE encompass the 192 acres of Exhibition Place in Toronto including eight buildings and structures designated as historical sites under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The CNE’s roots are in agriculture and this continues to be a strong component of the Fair which features a working farm and the Horse Show. However, the CNE has grown to include the highest level of Canadian and international performers.

Central to any fair is its midway. The CNE features two midways with a total of over 50 rides and 80 games. The large main midway, situated in the heart of the grounds, is not for the faint of heart. Adjacent to Kids’ World is the Kiddie Midway with rides and games catering to the youngest of our visitors.

Each midway also presents a variety of foods unique to the fair. The CNE Food Building is one of a kind in North America with over 90 vendors featuring foods from around the world.

Each year the CNE hosts the Canadian International Air Show. A highlight of the fair, this 3-day air show takes place on Labour Day Weekend. It is the largest over-the-water air show in the world and features Canada’s top precision flying team, The Snowbirds.
