Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) – The Ex

The Canadian National Exhibition, known as 'The Ex,' is Canada's largest annual fair and one of the top fairs in North America, drawing approximately 1.6 million visitors each year to Exhibition Place on Toronto's Lake Ontario waterfront. Running for 18 days from mid-August through Labour Day, it features a massive midway, live concerts, an international air show, agricultural displays, specialty foods, and hundreds of vendors and exhibitors. First held in 1879, it is a beloved late-summer GTA tradition and a natural add-on for any golf trip to the region.
