South Shore Exhibition (The Big EX)

Running since 1891, the South Shore Exhibition is the largest agricultural exhibition in Nova Scotia, held each summer over a full week on 43 acres at the Exhibition Grounds in Bridgewater — home to Osprey Ridge Golf Course. The action-packed week features horse and oxen pulls, livestock shows, 4-H competitions, arts and crafts, a midway, and big-name country and rock concerts on the Main Stage. The Grand Street Parade kicks off the festivities on opening Tuesday, making it the South Shore's signature community summer event.
