About the fair

Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) 2027 takes place August 20 – September 6, 2027 — Exhibition Place, Toronto, Canada.

Each late summer, Exhibition Place in Toronto hosts the Canadian National Exhibition, a consumer fair for the general public. It is not a trade show. It runs for about two and a half weeks, up to and including Labour Day. Visitors find a midway with rides and games, a large food building and retail vendors. Elsewhere on the grounds are a farm attraction, a children's area and live music. The bandshell concert series and an international air show are regular parts of the programme. The Canadian National Exhibition Association, an independent agricultural society, has organised the fair since the nineteenth century. It takes place once a year.
