As the summer days wind down, so does the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which means this is your final chance to soak in all the fun, food, and festivities at Toronto’s iconic end-of-summer event. If you haven’t made it out to the CNE yet, or even if you have, the final weekend is packed with unmissable experiences, including the highly anticipated Canadian International Air Show.
The Canadian International Air Show: A Spectacle in the Sky
One of the main highlights of this weekend is the Canadian International Air Show, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Taking place over Labour Day weekend, from August 31 to September 2, this spectacular event will have you gazing up in awe as some of the world’s most skilled pilots take to the skies over Lake Ontario.
This year’s show is set to be bigger and better than ever, featuring the beloved Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows, and the United States Air Force’s F-22 Raptor, among other amazing aircraft. Whether you’re a longtime aviation enthusiast or just love a good thrill, the airshow promises to be a breathtaking experience you won’t want to miss.
Other CNE Highlights You Can’t Miss
Besides the airshow, the CNE’s final weekend is packed with fun for everyone. From thrilling rides and games to the iconic food vendors serving up outrageous eats, there’s something for everyone at the Ex. Don’t forget to check out the EX Games, where pro-skaters, BMX bikers, and in-line skaters put on daily extreme sports shows on a massive 12ft half-pipe. The CNE Aquarama also makes its splashy return, showcasing daring waterski stunts on the West Channel of Lake Ontario.
Ticket Information
Remember, tickets to the CNE are still available, and there’s even a special offer for those who prefer the evening vibe—admission is just $13 after 5 PM (not on September 2). Whether you’re planning to spend the whole day or just swing by after work, it’s the perfect way to say goodbye to summer in Toronto.
