The Ex is almost back! August 18 to September 4, 2023. And this year we’re getting a new Vegas-Style Waterfront Fountain Show!
WHAT: Toronto’s end-of summer tradition is gearing up for another spectacular return, following near record attendance of more than 1.56 million in 2022 that was one of the highest in more than seven years. Some of the beloved favourites of the Fair will return starting August 18 – September 4, including the SuperDogs, International Stage performances from around the world, Celebrity Kitchen Stage, Food Truck Frenzy, and 18-day Gaming Garage sponsored by Intel. The Canadian International Air Show will take over the skies during on Labour Day weekend, while the popular nightly Drone Show presented by Vinfast will be back with 100 drones and new awe-inspiring formations. With the summer heat wave, CNE visitors will be able to cool down in more ways than one at the indoor Skating Show, starring Canadian champion Elvis Stojko and friends. All-new this year is the CNE Fountain Show “Sparking Symphony,” a daily choreographed spectacle on Lake Ontario that will combine high-energy music with 11 dancing fountains that can sprout up to 100ft in the air, and colour-changing lights and lasers to illuminate the show at night. |
Skating icon Elvis Stojko stars in the CNE’s Skating Show, twice daily inside the Cola-Cola Coliseum. The Skating Show returns for the first time since 2018. |
Konterschwung, acrobats from Switzerland, are among the exciting line-up of artists representing global entertainment and Canada’s vibrant cultural mosaic. |
Of course, the CNE experience wouldn’t be complete without enjoying some great concerts and live performances on any of its seven music stages; and to indulge in the cornucopia of food from fair staples such as ice cream waffles and Tiny Toms doughnuts, to out-of-the ordinary gastronomic creations that the CNE is renowned for. Stay tuned for the 2023 Bandshell Line-up announcement and the reveal of must-try new foods!
