Event information:
Having celebrated its 125th anniversary in the summer of 2003 (even though hampered by the 2003 blackout), "The Ex" - as it is also popularly known offers a wide variety of entertainment and events, midway rides, a working farm, parades, sports, international food and shopping, Kids' World and a three-day air show, Canadian International Air Show. The CNE is a provincially incorporated Agricultural Society and also fulfills a key program of Exhibition Place, a local board of management of the City of Toronto. The fair traditionally operates during the last 18 days of summer leading up to and including Labour Day Monday (the first Monday in September).
In the 1990s the annual fair suffered from deficits, but since 1999 it appears to have rebounded in popularity and has returned to financial stability. A 2003 Economic Impact Study conducted by Festivals and Events Ontario and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership (OTMP) revealed that the CNE attracted more than $48 million to the City of Toronto and more than $66 million to the province of Ontario.
Current CNE programs include: Aerial Acrobatic & Ice Skating Show, Bandshell Stage concerts, President's Choice SuperDogs Show, Kids' World, Kiddie Midway, Rising Star Youth Talent Competition, Horse Show, The Garden Show, Ken Jen Petting Zoo, Doo Doo the Clown, costume characters, The Farm, rock sculptures, butter sculptures, sand sculptures, daily Mardi Gras parade, Ribfest, the Food Building and Canadian International Air Show.
