How to get to cne from mississauga?
But the CNE is different. Every year, organizers add new attractions, rides, food vendors, and fun entertainment options. So after several years, the fair is a completely different experience.
So with that in mind, here is what's new at the Canadian National Exhibition in 2022.
For over 70 years, The Canadian International Air Show has been a draw card for CNE crowds. However, the Snowbirds won't be the only aerial vehicles providing entertainment for the masses this summer.
Every night from August 19th until September 4th, more than 100 drones will take to the sky at Prince's Gate. Using coloured LED lights and astonishing acrobatics, these UAVs will put on a stunning light show.
This free event (with admission) starts at 10:45 pm nightly, so don't be late!
Do you plan your CNE visit around food & drink? Well, if you enjoy the finer things in life, be sure to enter the CNE grounds at Prince's Gate.
Along Princes' Boulevard, one event after another dedicated to local brews and food from local restaurants will occur here.
The Canadian National Exhibition is back! After a two-year hiatus, the CNE returns to Exhibition Place from August 19 - September 5, 2022. All the fun and excitement is just steps away from Exhibition GO Station, making GO Transit your best way to get to The Ex. The Canadian National Exhibition is an end-of-summer tradition of food, rides, exhibits, and entertainment - and we can’t wait to take you to CNE 2022. Let’s GO to The Ex!
