Exhibition in Canada
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is governed by the Canadian National Exhibition Association (CNEA) and its volunteer Board of Directors. The CNEA is governed and operated under the jurisdiction by the Canadian National Exhibition Association Act of 1983 as amended by the Statutes of Ontario in 1999 and the Province of Ontario Agricultural & Horticultural Organizations Act of 1988.
The CNEA is a provincially chartered association which resides on a municipal site. Through various agreements with the City of Toronto including the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the CNE receives administrative, financial and operational services from Exhibition Place. The MOU also provides for the use of the buildings and grounds for the annual CNE.
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is an 18-day fair taking place every August concluding on Labour Day. Throughout the course of its 130 year history, the CNE has grown to be the largest annual fair in Canada and the fourth largest in North America attracting approximately 1.3 million visitors each year.
The Canadian National Exhibition takes place on 192 acres of Exhibition Place in Toronto. 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. Over time, 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 (Adult & Kiddie) that include more than 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.
The midway is also home to a wide variety of delicious "fair foods" and food can also be found in the CNE Food Building, which 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.
The CNE is Toronto’s unofficial “Summer Celebration”. With its unique variety of entertainment, the CNE offers something for everyone. For many families it is a tradition that has lasted generations.
