Established in 1879 and now attracting some 1.5 million people annually, the CNE is an important economic engine – an annual operating budget of $40M, employing 1,200 beginning each spring, hiring 5,000 more with partners during the Fair, and generating an estimated $256 million for the GTA and the Province each year. The 18-day Fair showcases 1,000 entertainers and performers, 700 exhibitors, 100+ farm animals, 96 midway games, 61 midway rides, plus electronic sports and gaming. Accessible, affordable, with a fiercely loyal following across our many diverse communities, the CNE has a strong platform and is primed for exciting and sustainable growth.
