These options, and more, will be available in the 136 food places of the CNE, including six new sellers in the exhibition, distributed between the Princes Gate and the Food Building adjacent to the BMO field.
Other attractions (although its appeal may vary according to the May of these food options that it has tried) includes a dinner in the sky, the first Brunch of CNE Drag organized by Toronto Drag Queen Devine Darlin and the 76th year of Canadian International Air Show.
The walks and games that populate the CNE Midway area are also back, with 63 total options that include pillars such as Polar Express, Scrabler and the Giant Fortune wheel.
The former will also have Mythos, an exhibition that the CNE describes as an immersive anthology series with stories from China, Nigeria and the first Haudenosaunee nation. According to the organization’s website, the CNE worked with artists from various disciplines that have close links with these communities to produce the exhibition.
The CNE will run from August 15 to September 1 at Exhibition Place.
