The Ultimate Guide to CNE 2025: Food, Fun & Thrills

Aug 15, 2025 | Entertainment, Community News

August 15, 2025

Toronto’s biggest summer send-off is back — the Canadian National Exhibition (Aug 15–Sept 1, 2025) — and it’s packing more food, rides, and wild entertainment than ever.

🍔 The Food
Expect the usual CNE classics and the wonderfully weird: deep-fried pickle Oreos, tzatziki cheesecake, peanut-butter-and-jelly hot dogs, potato bowls piled high with mac & cheese, and even shepherd’s pie in a cone. The Food Building and food truck alley are basically edible adventure zones.

🎢 The Rides
Ferris wheels, the Polar Express, coasters — and this year’s big first: Dinner in the Sky, where you’ll eat 150 feet above the midway.

🎤 The Shows
Free concerts from Shawn Desman, Jully Black, 98 Degrees, Yukon Blonde, plus SuperDogs, ice shows, magic acts, wrestling, and even a fabulous Drag Brunch.

✈️ Big Finale
The Canadian International Air Show roars over Toronto Labour Day weekend, closing out the fair with sky-high stunts.

📅 Hours & Tickets
Advance tickets start at $25.11 ($47.24 for Ride All Day) until Aug 14. Gates open daily at 10 a.m., with rides and games running late. GO and TTC transit take you right to the grounds.

CNE 2025 isn’t just an event — it’s the Toronto summer tradition. Come hungry, come curious, and maybe leave a little dizzy.
