The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is running from August 18th till September 4th this year. Also known as “The Ex” to many Torontonians, the CNE is an end-of-summer, annual event that takes place at Exhibition Place along Toronto’s waterfront with Lake Ontario. The CNE is a popular family event that draws over a million visitors from across Ontario and beyond every year. Over the course of 2 weeks, the CNE provides attendees with a wide range of live entertainment, carnival games, midway rides, shopping, sports events, and specialized exhibits. One of the key features of the CNE is the exciting food options available to attendees. In addition to standard carnival offerings like pizzas, hotdogs, fries, and soda drinks, the CNE is known to attract talented food vendors that take classic street foods to the next level! For example, since 2012, the CNE has hosted the “Food Truck Frenzy” where dozens of food trucks serve bold and memorable foods, beverages, and desserts to event attendees. This year, food and entertainment journalists with the CBC and CP24 have been reporting new and exciting food offerings at The Ex. For example, one food vendor is serving cheeseburger flavoured ice-cream while another is serving deep fried cheese curds with fruity pebbles. For those who are less adventurous but still want something less boring – the deep-fried Oreo and the croffle (a cross between a croissant and a waffle) are still available at the Ex this year!
