Toronto's largest annual fair, and always a great concert lineup of big ticket bands and performers.
With a huge midway to get lost in, tons of amusement rides, ferris wheels, roller coasters and all the candy cotton you can shake a stick at, the CNE (known simply as the 'Ex" to Torontonians) is an annual tradition for locals and tourists alike.
