Canadian National Exhibition: August 15 to September 1
August 15, 2014
The CNE opens on Friday, August 15th!
Among the highlights this year: Ribfest, which runs every day except for Mondays
Music: At the Bandshell, you’ll have the opportunity to see performers from yesteryear including Christopher Cross, Jose Feliciano, Platinum Blonde, April Wine, Hanson and Tom Cochrane. Interestingly enough, Cochrane also performed here in 1992. That same year, Celine Dion and Ray Charles were here, Elton John, Harry Connick Jr, Garth Brooks and U2!
Food: Food Truck Frenzy takes place from August 22-24 with offerings from Bacon Nation, Yogurty’s and Fidel Gastro. There are also dozens of booths to choose from in the Food Building. Will anything top last year’s cronut burger (minus the staph aureus)? That remains to be seen…
And of course, there are parades, pyrotechnics, games, rides and more.
